Scout Innovations for 2024
On December 13 KC Scout shared three separate Innovations Challenge Entries at the local showcase, including one from ER operators Hector Ortiz, Michael Maynard and Gregory Morgan in the equipment category. Their innovation was named “C-3PO” which is an acronym for “Configurable Cargo Control & Projection Optimizer” a low-cost, easily installed cargo containment system for securing loose items in a truck bed. It has universal safety implications for every vehicle in MoDOT’s fleet.
Figure 1 ER's C-3POScout also presented two productivity entries, each with “leveraging information sharing” for improved
understanding of Scout functions. respectively named LOTUS (Leveraging Outreach Training
Using Small Groups)
and EVOLVE
(Embedded Video Option Leveraging Vital
Education). LOTUS
showed the effectiveness of small group, short duration training
sessions, while EVOLVE was a means of using short, 2 min embedded video clips
to describe the many diverse activities performed by Scout team members. Both
innovations are replicable for use by other departments to help describe
departmental functions and responsibilities to a greater MoDOT audience. LOTUS was developed by York Morlan
and Chris Butler and EVOLVE was a
team effort by Lairyn McGregor, Kelly Alvarez and Nancy Powell.
