Gaining the Long View: Reforming Organization and Empowering Knowledge Workers to Improve Strategy and Intelligence

Abstract

A dearth of strategy exists in the U.S. government. The Global War on Terror and the emergence of diverse, insidious, and disparate threats to national security now dominate the focus of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the Department of Defense and Inter-agency customers it supports. The rapidly-changing character of the strategic environment demands greater effort to anticipate surprises and create strategies to address them. Doing this requires a strategy-minded workforce, organizations to encourage creative thinking and innovation, and a greater demand signal from leaders for strategically-oriented staff products.
