The Army Design Methodology is an evolving concept and this research identifies required knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) for leaders and their staffs to effectively use design. Identified KSAs can inform and direct training and leader development that facilitate the application of design and positively impact operational success. This research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods to determine design KSAs. Results support a framework of six competencies and 43 KSA related to the cognitive and social-communication components of design. In order to enhance the development and application of design competencies broadly throughout the force, the Army needs to identify and select Soldiers with a propensity to demonstrate the KSAs, provide them additional developmental opportunities (both inside and outside the classroom), and finally, reward them for engaging in design thinking.
