QP—Getting and Maintaining Alignment
The QP WIB October 11, 2016 Volume 1, Issue 8
Quonset Point Teammates -
Over the next few months we will be
meeting with teams and crews across
the organization to share and get
aligned on the key strategic priorities
and actions that will improve perfor-
mance and ensure our ongoing success
at Quonset Point.
It is critical that we get clear on how
everyone in the organization plays a
role in our future, and what actions and
behaviors are needed to drive results
and deliver on our mission.
In a sense, QP/EB is like an automobile.
In order for you (the Driver) to achieve
maximum performance, all of the car’s
parts need to be in alignment. Not just
your four tires, which must be balanced
and properly inflated and respond to
your direction through the steering
wheel, but also your engine and brakes
which must communicate with the tires
when you hit the gas or tap the brake
pedal. When all these systems are work-
ing efficiently and in concert, you can
gain speed and maintain control and get
to where you are going.
But let’s not kid ourselves. Cars, like
organizations, get out of alignment and
need tune-ups. Getting and staying
aligned is difficult and requires continu-
ous effort and engagement with all of
the players in the organization. Internal
and external conditions change. Spark
plugs corrode, brake pads wear out,
engines fail, windshields crack and the
driver must repair or replace these parts
to regain peak performance. Outside
weather conditions and highways dete-
riorate but you make adjustments to
stay on the road and keep moving in the
right direction. The same holds true for
QP, where the market environment is
shifting, internal capabilities fluctuate
or deteriorate and key people move up
or on and we must respond together to
maintain alignment.
Alignment isn’t a destination or finish
line---it’s an unending journey that we
need to travel together.
So, as we work to ensure renewed
alignment across QP, we will be sharing
more about our key strategic priorities.
More importantly, we will be asking for
your reactions to them. What excites
you about them? What is clear, or not
clear? How do the priorities impact
your role, and engage you to do your
best work? In order to be successful,
we want and need your thinking, your
energy and your feedback to bring this
alignment to life.

Offer to EB Employees, Family Members, is for this Saturday, October 15
As part of the community partnership between Electric Boat and Mystic Sea-
port, EB employees and up to three immediate family members will be admit-
ted to the Seaport at no charge Saturday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
To take advantage of this generous offer, employees must present their badg-
es at the admission gate. If you’re bringing more than three family members,
the additional members can obtain passes at a 25 percent discount.
EB’s partnership with the Seaport includes financial support, which enables
Groton and New London students to participate in the museum’s STEM activities and Force in Motion
learning program.
Mystic Seaport is the nation’s leading maritime museum. Founded in 1929 to gather and preserve artifacts of
America’s seafaring past, the Museum has grown to become a national center for research and education.
A stroll through the historic village transports visitors back to the mid-1800s where they can experience first
-hand from staff historians, storytellers, musicians, and craftspeople just what it was like to earn a living
from the sea.
Free Admission to Mystic Seaport

Memorial
Golf Tournament
2016
Dear QP Team Mates, The 14th annual Justin Laverdiere Memorial Golf Tournament to ben-efit The Tomorrow Fund was held on September 24th at Chemawa CC in North Attleboro, MA. The tournament was full once again with 112 golfers participating. Through the efforts of all who participated which included EBQP/ECSA and fellow QP cowork-ers who golfed this year, we expect to exceed last year’s record total. More donations are still coming in and a follow up notification on final amounts will come out within the next several weeks. We wish to thank you on supporting TTF in our son Justin’s memory and supporting the families of children with cancer in their daily lives. Forever Grateful, Marilyn & Blake Laverdiere
