Interagency Reform: Changing Organizational Culture through Education and Assignment

Abstract

The root issue of interagency woes is the absence of an effective interagency process to drive policy integration and synergy within the departments of the Executive Branch. Contrary to popular belief, organizational restructuring of the National Security Council or departments is not required; the 1947 National Security Act gave the Executive Branch the structural agility to deal with modern security issues. A better and more feasible option is to focus on the people operating inside the interagency community. That takes changing basic organizational culture using an in-stride method that capitalizes on two momentous influencers of organizational culture - education and interagency assignments.
