The requirement is to design and deliver either 2-hour or half-day modules of proprietary Meta-Leadership development/training sessions. These sessions, whether virtual or in-person, will be delivered for large groups (100+) of Career Federal Senior Executives, as determined by the OPM HRS CLD FEI. These sessions will be part of an OPM HRS CLDFEI SES Leading EDGE program, serving as the orientation or continuing development of Federal Senior Executives. Sessions should focus on challenges facing senior-level leaders in a risk-based “volatile, uncertain, complex, and adaptive” (VUCA) environment that they and their agencies face. The purpose of this training is to prepare Federal Senior Executives, be they career or high-level political appointees, for the strategic and operational leadership challenges with a practical, proven framework and practice method of leader effectiveness in fast-moving, high-stress, high stakes situations involving numerous stakeholders, complex interdependencies, while also operating in traditional hierarchies and silos. The Meta-Leadership module will ensure appointees are mission-ready, expertly trained, and deliberately developed to act and direct others in times of crisis with tools that are conceptually and practically rigorous. At the direction of the OPM HRS CLD FEI, and as requested by the White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) or other executive office, the vendor must be prepared to design and deliver single 2-hour module or half-day session of executive-level Meta-Leadership development/training for a large group of non-career Senior Executives and political appointees. The nation’s top political executives and career Senior Executives, especially those newly appointed to their roles, face a set of unique challenges leading agencies and implementing Administration priorities. Senior Executives must understand the complexities and nuances of a 21st century workforce, manage the interests of a wide variety of external stakeholders and central management agencies in advancing Administration priorities to better serve the Nation and the American public, while protecting key tenets of the merit system. Based on these very high-level executive development/training requirements, as well OPM HRS CLD FEI’s past experience delivering Meta-Leadership modules with the Harvard University’s National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI), OPM HRS CLD FEI has determined that Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is uniquely qualified to provide this holistic leadership framework and development program so that Senior Executives and Political Appointees have tools that are conceptually and practically rigorous to lead and direct others in times of crisis and every day. The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s proprietary framework is based on rigorous first-hand observation and research of Federal government leaders in crisis situations and the applicability of their actions (and non-actions) to leadership behavior in crisis and non-crisis situations. In addition to academic experience, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health provides faculty who have applied Meta-Leadership as former senior Federal officials in real-life crisis situations. This academic and executive-level practitioner experience is significant in its immediate relevance to the customer population OPM HRS CLDFEI SES Leading EDGE services.
