A Military Sealift Command (MSC) procurement analyst graduated from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business Navy Insights into Industry Management (3IMC) course Feb. 17 and is now ready to use the lessons learned to help MSC.
William Lucenta, a native of Yorktown, Virginia, has been with MSC since 2020 and is the eBusiness Branch Chief within the Business Operations Division/Contracts and Business Management Department. He was one of 48 graduates, many from various other Navy commands, to complete the two-week graduate level course.
The 3IMC course educates and trains students on current and cutting-edge business practices sufficient to allow them to recognize business risks and opportunities and to anticipate potential changes in the business world. It equips students with the broad assessment, evaluation and decision-making skills required in American business.
“The course delivers graduate-level business curriculum and focuses on industry structure and strategy, financial metrics, corporate culture, decision making drivers/processes, risk management and business management techniques,” said Lucenta.
As a procurement analyst, Lucenta works hand-in-hand with the service components to ensure functional process, policy, and data requirements are incorporated in Department of Defense-wide, procurement-related business initiatives and systems. In short, eBusiness facilitates and maintains the functional use of systems and acts as the bridge between contract execution and policy. Lucenta says he is looking forward to putting that curriculum to work for MSC.
“On top of learning about industry and financial metrics, I learned about different types of leadership. As a new branch chief and supervisor in N101A, I plan to implement a few elements of tipping point leadership,” he said.
After submitting several applications, Lucenta was initially selected to attend 3IMC last summer, but he was unable to due to personal reasons. However, his leaders were very supportive and allowed him to take the course this year. He praises those around him and the MSC culture for fostering growth among its employees.
“I am thankful for my leadership for investing in me and I encourage anyone interested in the 3IMC program to apply,” he said. “MSC has plenty of opportunity for those who want to make a difference. I would like to continue to grow as a leader and foster an environment where everyone is creating positive change and providing support for the warfighter.”
