US ARMY COMMAND AND GENERAL STAFF COLLEGE Advanced Applications Course AAP 443: Human Resources Support Seminar

Advance Sheet for Lesson 2 Human Resources Transformation 1. SCOPE This class is a 6-hour lesson on human resource (HR) support transformation and modularity. The objective of this lesson is to introduce you to the scope and complexity of HR transformation. You will analyze and evaluate the effects of HR transformation in terms of capabilities and risks associated with support to the commander. There are three levels of learning. The first is your preparation before class as outlined in the lesson advance sheet. Second is your participation in seminar type discussions where you will be expected to maximize the sharing of experiences, information and ideas. The final activity will be your involvement in researching, developing and presenting a group project about HR transformation. This lesson emphasizes three Field Grade Leader Skills that will help you improve Communication, Critical Reasoning, and Systems Understanding. During the practical application portion of this lesson, you will be challenged to demonstrate specific leader behaviors which are: Display openness to work through controversy in a positive way to overcome resistance and build support through effective listening. Use a systems perspective to understand that an organization is part of a system and has effects on other organizations. View problems from several perspectives in order to understand situations, find causes, arrive at justifiable conclusions, make good judgments and learn from experience.

This lesson depends on the knowledge you developed in previously assigned homework, readings, and practical exercises found in the following Core courses:

C120 - Critical Reasoning Module. F103 Operational Change.

Additionally this lesson will contribute to the following AOWC lessons:

W299 UEx Operations Exercise. W341 Sustainment Enablers.

Your assessment in this lesson includes participation in classroom discussion, group presentations and completion of a group presentation practical exercise. Finally, you will have the opportunity to continue developing their HR Battle Book which they began in Lesson 1. 2.
