The National Defense University seeks to implement the Chairman's guidance concerning an integrated strategy focusing on students and pooling the faculty across the whole institution. Students will know when theory is not matched by practice. They will look for signs that the Chairman's Desired Leader Attributes will be prioritized and employed at the university itself despite risks. It will not escape their attention if the university strategy for organizational change is not sufficiently strategic in the adaptive sense the times require. They will see the difference between being put first with a whole-of-university approach and old patterns. Implementing this vision will call for a total team effort, especially to present a significantly richer education experience by academic year 2015. |
