Adaptive Acquisition Framework
“we didn’t want a one-size fits all approach. Instead, we have developed an AAF that allows PMs to choose the right pathway for work they are undertaking to deliver capability to Warfighter as quickly as possible.”
Ms. Stacy Cummings, DASD, Acq Enablers 2019 “The goal of the AAF is to empower innovation and common-sense decision making through the decision-making process, while also maintaining discipline in our practices and procedures..”
Mr. Kevin Fahey, ASD, Acquisition 2019
“This policy embraces the delegation of decision-making tailoring program oversight to minimize unnecessary bureaucratic processes and actively managing risks based on the unique characteristics of the capability being acquired”

The normal state of your mind is that you have intuitive feelings and opinions about almost everything that comes your way. You dislike people long before you know much about
them. You trust or distrust strangers without knowing why. You feel that an enterprise is bound to succeed with
analyzing it.Whether you state them or not, you often have answers to questions that you do not completely understand, relying on evidence that can neither explain or defend.

“Extroverts have little or no grasp of introversion. They assume that company, especially their own, is always welcome. They cannot imagine why someone would need to be alone; indeed, they often take umbrage at the suggestion. As often as I have tried to explain the matter to extroverts, I have never sensed that any of them really understood. They listen for a moment and then go back to barking and yipping.”

Where thinking occurs in your brain
Thinking is hard work so the brain uses mental shortcuts or “rules of thumb” (AKA “heuristics”) to solve a problem or
make a decision quickly and efficiently
Striatum – Passive thinking occurs here!
Hippocampus – Active thinking occurs here!

• Program began in 1983 as a proposed long-range, LO, high-payload medium attack aircraft to replace carrier-based A-6 by mid-1990s
• On 13 Jan 88, McDonnell-Douglas/General Dynamic awarded RDTE contract– FPIF w/TP of $4.38B and CP of $4.84B– First Flight scheduled for 17 Jun 90
• Canceled 7 Jan 91 by SECDEF Cheney – largest termination in DoD history– At least $1B over budget; 8,000 lbs overweight; 18 months behind schedule– So expensive estimated to take up 70% of Navy budget within 3 yrs– Over 20 years of litigation – 1 Jun 09, ktrs ordered to pay $1.35B plus $1.45B interest
• May 10: Supreme Court set aside Appeals Court decision, sends case back to federal courts circuit
• Jan 14: Case was settled w/Boeing & General Dynamics agreeing to pay $200M each to Navy
• Six months earlier, A-12 enjoyed wide support from Congress & SECDEF

• Clear program in trouble – largely ignored by McAir; GD; Navy and DoD– EVMS identified “significant and increasing negative cost and schedule variances”– Ktr team “made best case projections based upon overly optimistic recovery plans”
• PM’s Production Oversight team’s review expected “firm design in hand” and “assembly tooling … designed, built and on floor” by Sep 89
– Early evidence first flight date of June 1990 unattainable• NAVAIR analyst warned of >$1B over ceiling – PM didn’t believe
– Pentagon analyst reviewed reports, concluding A-12 “was in very deep trouble”– Warnings offset at Nov 89 Pentagon review by PM’s “very spirited defense of program”– OSD budget analyst report (5000# over, 2 yrs behind, $500M >) stirred controversy -- withdrawn
• Great political pressure for A-12 success– If A-12 failed, Navy would cede deep-strike bombing to USAF – jeopardizing future $4B funding for
aircraft carriers and other warships– Numerous examples where unfavorable info either dismissed or suppressed
• Due to fundamental design deficiencies, unlikely program was ever salvageable• On 28 Nov 90, Beach report concludes A-12 PM “erred in judgment”

Effect of Contract Types• Law mandates MDA authorization/ documentation to use cost-type contracts in
MDAP development and prohibits cost-type contracts in MDAP production – Our view is that contract types must be tailored to the specific situation, with the risk associated
with the work to be performed being the most important factor• Analysis showed no statistical correlation between performance and broad contract type
among 433 MDAP development and 440 early production contracts (2013 Report)• Fixed-price contracts exhibit lower cost growth because they are used primarily in lower-
risk situations—not because they inherently lead to lower cost growth– Price can be higher on fixed price contract because contractor prices in as much risk as possible
to shift risk to DoD• When cost control is predetermined and formulaically incentivized, vendors respond
– Predictable incentives, not fixed pricing, is key -- simply considering fixed-price contracts is too simplistic because:
• Some cost-type contracts also have strong incentives to control cost growth• Both cost-type and fixed-price contracts can be modified, i.e., work content growth• Some fixed-price contracts do not provide information on costs, i.e., govt risks paying unnecessarily
high prices on FFP contracts– FFP contracts do not share savings with the government—even when risks are low– Using FFP contracts in full-rate production may incentivize contractors to withhold cost-reduction ideas and
investments until then, when they keep all the cost-reduction rewards– If no govt insight into these savings, subsequent production lot prices may continue to be higher than necessary

MECHANISTIC ORGANIZATIONS-- REALITIES AND BENEFITS --
Retaining overall mechanistic organization construct Ensure fair treatment for employees Bounding innovators from pushing their inclinations too far …
leading to belligerence, chaos, disastrous experimentation, and unprincipled opportunism
Age and size of Department of Defense Tendency towards mechanistic behavior -- more rigid & less
adaptable to change Rigidity and cumbersome environmental change response Can promote decentralization by allowing lower-level managers
autonomy and flexibility while retaining control over strategic decisions
Use of policies and statutes as tools versus obstacles Can enhance critical thought and negate mavericks that circumvent
strictly in name of expediency Can encourage risk-taking along with its potential for failure, but
resist dispersion of boundary/control systems designed to balance warfighter needs and being good stewards of taxpayers’ money

LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS
Characteristics of learning organizations Little to no hierarchical social structure Free flow of info -- encourage new ways of doing business Continuous improvement of established procedures Change and risk-taking supported
Advantages of learning organizations Maximum flexibility Dynamically responsive to changes in environment Learns from mistake Adapts to new realities more readily Better decision-making in non-problematic situations, i.e.,
innovationOrganizations where people continually expand their capacity to create results,
where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together

ADOPTING LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS
DoD Cultural Change Impractical to expect DoD as a whole to become learning organization
Differentiation and integration – challenging, but not uncommon Differentiation refers to single company operating different
organizational constructs Allows for two different constructs to co-exist -- mechanistic and learning
Integration refers to collaboration needed to achieve common goals, i.e., allows for successful co-existence
Need to incentivize cultural transition from one that desires hierarchical control to one that values innovation and encourages debate
Requires change in cultural values and artifacts Responsible risk-taking preferred and failure acceptable
