University of Tennessee: Harvard Business School partners with Defense Acquisition University
Defense AT&L, March-April, 2006
In January, the Defense Acquisition University partnered with Harvard Business School Publishing to procure the Harvard Business School ManageMentor modules. These 37 HBS modules will strengthen the softskills for the AT & L workforce, select members of the private sector who have attended DAU courses, and for students who receive training through the Federal Acquisition Institute/DAU partnership.
The Harvard ManageMentor modules (listed on the next page) are an easy-to-use online performance support tool that provides information and materials on more than 37 topics fundamental to managerial success. Topics range from running an effective meeting or managing a project to more complex tasks such as negotiating or keeping a team on target. For each topic, practical information is presented using the following methods:
* Core concepts
* Tips and tools
* Action steps
* Resources
* Test yourself
* Interactive practices
* Exercises focused on questions like "What would you do?" and "Where should you focus?"
The Defense Acquisition University encourages the entire defense acquisition workforce to take advantage of this new training resource. To register, students should go to the Acquisition Training Application System <https://www.atrrs.army.mil/channels/acqtas/> and log in at the center of the screen. Once logged in, click on the yellow box near the top of the screen that reads "Click Here For Continuous Learning Instructions." By following the instructions provided, students will be able to register for any of the 112 Continuous Learning Modules that DAU currently provides including the 37 new Harvard Business School ManagementMentor classes, all of which are identified by a module number beginning with "HBS."
