Collective Planning and Leadership for the U.S. Army

Conference Meeting between U.S. Army and Board members

Geopolitical and technological changes faced by the U.S. Army require a unique, multi-level leadership approach to address complex, ambiguous problems. Collective leadership and planning enables Army units to address rapidly evolving problems through effective identification and use of expertise in large groups or collectives. This project explores the intersection of collective leadership and collective planning to enhance performance and to provide a framework for operating in complex, dynamic environments with rapidly evolving problems.
