SUBJECT Automatic Data Processing Systems Development
and Planning
MERENCE : Memo to all DDB Office Heads from DDB, dtd
27 June 66, same subject
1. This memorandum is for your information.
/U
2. We have reviewed referenced memorandum to ascertain if the
Office of Personnel is meeting on a timely basis the current and
potential demands of electronic data processing and systems improve-
ment.
3. The direct impact of electronic data processing on personnel
recordkeeping already required that we send many of our intermediate
and senior level officers to orientation courses providing the basic
knowledge required to appreciate the uses and potentials of automatic
data processing as it relates to personnel management. Same of these
officers have attended additional courses designed to provide the senior
manager with an appreciation and understanding of what ADP equipment
can do to assist us in the planning process.
i+. The two members of the Office of Personnel assigned to the
Support Systems Staff have had extensive, full-time training in ADP
techniques and uses. Other personnel officers concerned on a day-to-
day basis with the input and the product of ADP have attended various
courses (usually sponsored by the Civil Service Commission) designed
to give them, a much broader and intensive look at what ADP can or
cannot do for the Office of Personnel at this time and in the future.
5. Although we have made a concerted effort to educate many of
our personnel officers and technicians in the uses, potentials, and
limitations of ADP, we agree that a further effort is required. With
this in mind, we plan to enroll more of our officers in courses that
win provide them with a basic knowledge level of ADP and its relation-
ship to modern personnel practices and procedures. In addition, ADP

and its uses will be interrelated with the main theme of the 1966
Personnel Officers Conference, i.e., Personnel Forecasting and
Planning.
6. la addition to the above, we have tentatively earmarked two
of our more promising officers who have the education required and the
interest in this field to learn the more technical aspects of computer
programming and systems improvement for career work in the field of
ADP. At the appropriate time, we will nominate them for on-the-job
training with the Support Systems Staff and enroll them in an extensive,
formal training program. We vill continue to identify, when possible,
other young officers who appear to have the background and interest to
contribute in a meaningful way to the personnel support aspects of ADP
in future years.
