FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii – Thirty logistics Soldiers in the 8th Theater Sustainment Command participated in a Design and Innovative Method Thinking class Feb. 22 – 24 at the dining facility here.
The DITM staff training seminar and workshop was a class to learn skills needed to assess situations from different perspectives and to create solutions if problems are identified.
“We were taught a new method of innovative problem solving with the intent that this would enhance communication between the various staff sections in order to encourage us to come up with a better way to solve problems,” said Capt. Sharon Cordello, an administrative law attorney for 8th TSC.
The group of 30 were separated into four smaller teams. When split apart, they all came up with their own ideas and how they would like to implement them into the projects they were working on.
“The diverse group, consisting of Soldiers from 8th TSC human resources, operations and the 8th Human Resource Support Center, were provided with problem sets from the senior command,” Cordello added.
All members identified to participate in this training were senior enlisted and officers within the 8th TSC who would immediately benefit from this strategic way of assessing situations.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jeff Lein, the training planner with the commander’s initiative group for the 8th TSC said his role in the 8th TSC is to facilitate the commanding general’s intent to provide innovative training techniques to staff in support of future planning and operations.
“In almost every organization, military or civilian, they’re going to experience internal problems, and often times they will succumb to failure in predictable ways,” said Lein.
This training will focus on developing leaders who can be resilient, adaptive and innovated while removing their personal bias, allowing them to identify the best approach or solution for a situation.
“What I want them to get out of the class is the ability to design innovative changes to army culture,” said Dr. Helen Horvath, the lead instructor and founder of Ilka Technology, Inc.
With the assistance of Horvath and her team, the Soldiers were able to demonstrate this new way of thinking that they will be able to use throughout their careers and pass down to future Army leaders.
