PROBLEM STATEMENT
Based on the data collected from
two interviews,
the following problem statement
emerged:The general problem focuses on the lack of
communication skills obtained at the Bachelor’s-level
and during military schooling or training that relate to
the private workforce. The specific problem focuses on
not having the communication know-how (being
flexible) to appropriately (a) translate military
knowledge and skills to prospective private sector
employers (b) and approach the concerns of clients in
the private sector.

Give recognition in
the field of study that
a certain level of
knowledge has been
identified
IDEA SELECTION
PROTOTYPE A
Holding a Formal Private
Designation,
Former Military Personnel or
Reservists
May Now Be Heard and Seen!
I WAS BLIND,BUT NOW I SEE
The Eye of the Prototype represents a
round table of military leaders (i.e.,
ribbons and emblem) and civilian
leaders of professional associations (i.e.,
lapel pins) developing a certification for
former military personnel and
reservists. It also shows military
personnel transforming (i.e.,
soldiers) into private sector
professionals (i.e., big heads). The green
eye represents the military “greens”
uniform or the battlefield of
negotiations. The black in the middle of
the eye is a military boot housing
military and civilian terminologies.
“Even though these components are separate,
the similarities make it complex. Depend on the
situation, the expected outcome and the
recipient are variables and should be considered
in the equation. The nonmilitary sector
somehow needs to be educated about the
military so that way everyone is on the same
page. We are all to be for the same mission
(preserving the nation). How could this
happen? With your input this should be
accomplished.”
PROTOTYPE ASTAKEHOLDER COMMENTS
PROTOTYPE BIf environments impact learning and shape
performance,
then laws and policies that govern the
environments,
must be understood to approach the issues.
Militiary laws and policies, thus, has become a part of

PROTOTYPE B STAKEHOLDER COMMENTS
“Bachelor prepared degree in any USA institution
involves communication skills but not necessary
toward military entities. This shortcoming could
injury the outcome of any specific situation depending
on the situation and surroundings. You addressed the
most significant outcome being flexible. Both unities
need specific instructions. The military is trained for
this which you brought out, but civilians live for the
moment not the mission. When asked would I die for
my employer, the answer was absolutely, ‘NO’, but
when asked about the military, one would say ‘when
and where’.”
