Employee ProfilesEmployee ProfilesLM Voice Survey: Leaders Take ActionLeaders play a key role in our success by guiding employees, rewarding their efforts and supporting them inthe pursuit of excellence. Our LM Voice survey results in 2011 and 2012 delivered critical feedback to leaders,identifying how we can better provide an environment that yields success. The stories below demonstrate thatwhen employees speak out, leaders take action.Dr. Shue-Jane L. ThompsonChief, itSM* Office, IS&GS CTO and Engineering, Gaithersburg, Md.Years of Service: 5+The biggest challenge facing Shue-JaneThompson and her team was both commonand critical: how to enhance their communicationsto the product lines.Feedback revealed that the organization’s capabilitieswere not penetrating to the grass roots.The team outlined a series of activities focusedon mitigating the situation and ensuring thatemployees were both informed and engaged.They first established an integrated communicationplan as part of standard operatingprocedures and launched an itSM Office storefrontthat included social media. The officestructure was revised to map to the ITIL-basedorganizational structure and functions, and anoverview of itSM was added to both afterhoursand on-demand boot camp classes.The agenda for itSM Council and Board ofDirector (BoD) meetings was enhanced to reinforcetwo-way communications. Webcastsand other Web resources (i.e., Eureka Streams)were used to facilitate communication. Theteam continues to identify and assess additionalimprovements."We have seen positive improvement in communicationsand better awareness of itSM Officecapabilities across the board," said Thompson.*Enabling Services Management through theIntegration of Invisible TechnologiesBryan HumeDirector, Program Management, IS&GS-National, Lorton, Va.Years of Service: 27Bryan Hume and his leadership team identifieda huge challenge during their analysis of LMVoice feedback: the need to develop an actionplan that would effectively translate the toplevel of survey results into meaningful actionat the local level."Essentially, we struggled to understand whatwas at the heart of employee feedback at theprogram level and then determined the bestway to identify real corrective actions that theemployees could see, feel and touch," Bryanexplained.Bryan and his team leveraged their roundtablementoring group, comprised of a good crosssection of employees from across the site. Theroundtable team was asked to identify whatthey believed to be the root of employee concernsand to brainstorm potential actions tomitigate those concerns.The team briefed management on their resultsand together the groups agreed on 14 actionsacross the three focus areas that would havethe most positive impact. They established aprocess to schedule, track and ensure closureof each action.4Connect Magazine | Q4 2012


Jim StevensDirector, HRAccess, IS&GS-Civil, Rockville, Md.Years of Service: 16LM Voice survey feedback led Jim Stevens andhis to team to address workforce engagementand the challenge of balancing customer-driventasks with activities that would accomplishthat focus. Both are critical relationships thatare deserving of time and attention, but schedulechanges and conflicts are inevitable.Stevens and his team took a proactive approachto sharing information with theemployees, creating more opportunities fortwo-way dialogue including all-hands meetings,roundtable discussions, and one-on-oneconversations. They also revamped theiremployee recognition process and how theyprovide career development opportunities.The results not only yielded more informedand effectively engaged employees, but alsoimproved management communication andengagement. More employees were placed ingrowth positions, helping to bring added valueto the business and increase productivity."The increased communication has been keyto keeping employees engaged and productiveduring a period of demanding challenges,"Stevens said.On-going actions will include holding careerdevelopment brown bag sessions, developingstretch assignments, and increasing recognitionopportunities.Ernie CaliDeputy, Enterprise Information Solutions and Director of OperationsIS&GS-Defense, Alexandria, Va.Years of Service: 30More than 90 percent of the Enterprise ITSolutions (EITS) employees work on customerpremises. LM Voice survey results indicatedthat many employees expressed feeling disconnectedfrom the organization. EITS OperationsDirector Ernie Cali and his team challengedthemselves to reach out and touch all 1,800employees—many of whom have never beento a <strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> facility.An Employee Engagement Campaign waslaunched to ensure a connection was establishedwith each employee during the year.More than 75 Employee Engagement Sessionswere held at more than 20 sites. The sessionsfocused on linking each person to the missionand the organization while increasing awarenessof IS&GS strategies and capabilities,and encouraging participation in mentoringand transformational initiatives. Nearly 300Washington-based employees attended theteam’s first extended EITS Get Engaged Sessionat the Global Vision Center in Crystal City, Va.A second initiative connected employeesthrough a pilot program for front-line leadership."The emphasis here was to reinforcethe impact and influence that leaders haveon the success of their teams," explained KimAlexander, EITS HRBP.Feedback from these initiatives has beenpositive. Employees are energized, excited andmotivated to share their LM connection withother employees and with customers, and theycontinue to be the top discriminator for thebusiness."I am always so impressed by our employees’commitment to support Every Person, EveryMission, Every Day," Cali added.Connect Magazine | Q4 2012 5

"We’re taking what we do bestacross all three product lines and extendingthose capabilities into key international regions."Initially, the strategy focused primarily on countriesand regions where <strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong>’sexisting strong presence could be used as a basefor extending the reach of IS&GS. In Australia, forexample, the business area already supports civilinformation technology and Command, Control,Communications, Computers, Intelligence,Farnborough, U.K.Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) programs,and is well positioned on several majorcompetitions. Now, the business developmentteam is leveraging that success regionally."We’re using our presence in Australia as a springboardinto South Asia," explains Hans Tench, aninternational business development regional director."Singapore is our initial target, and we’redoing some work in Indonesia as well. We haveabout $500 million in opportunities growingout of South Asia, and we intend to expandthose fully across the market."Other focus regions for internationalgrowth include the UnitedKingdom (U.K.)/Europe. In theU.K., the government ischanging its procurementmodel and introducing thenew Government ServicesIntegration and Management(SIAM) function.IS&GS recently landeda breakthrough contractto provide cloudservices across U.K.government departmentsand organizations,and has significantlyincreased its cyber presencethere."Our thought leadershipin cyber has been wellreceived by key U.K. stakeholders,including analysiswork related to the London2012 Olympic games," saysMark Gittins, Regional Director for<strong>International</strong> Business Developmentfor the U.K. and Europe.

IS&GS-NationalIS&GS-NationalIS&GS-NationalExpanding the View Builds <strong>International</strong> BusinessIS&GS-National recently added the Global Solutions line of business to its organization as part of aconstant effort to grow the business. This new organization focuses on international expansion. Itsstrategy for penetrating international markets is diverse and must be adjusted based on the maturityof the market, the customs of the region and the available <strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> resources in country.Preparing for <strong>International</strong> ExpansionIn maturing markets such as the Middle East,Global Solutions targets larger growth opportunities.This approach works within this regionbecause customer relationships and requirementshave been in development for severalyears. Currently, there are limited autonomous<strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> resources in the Middle East,so Global Solutions uses local teammates andpotential mergers and acquisitions. Pursuits inthe Middle East are selective, however, targetingonly enterprise-scale opportunities thatleverage one or more of our five key capabilities.In less mature markets, such as Canada, GlobalSolutions looks to small, agile offerings combinedwith local partnerships for entry into themarket. These partnerships are leveraged todevelop "beachhead" roles that establish a reputationand past-performance portfolio.Global Solutions Vice President Bob Eastmanexplains, "These beachhead roles are necessaryin markets such as Canada because althoughthe <strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> brand is recognized, itis most likely associated with military systemssuch as the F-35. So, as an example, we look foropportunities to shape brand awareness for ourcyber capabilities."Thought LeadershipCapturemanager KenDeMaree (left) andChief TechnologyArchitect Yaser Bishr(right) personallydeliver the MOMRAproposal to SaudiArabia as the IS&GS-National team movesto enter a key newstrategic market.
