Enterprise Perspective Seminar

Program Description

---

U.S. security concerns are broader and more multi-dimensional than at any other time in the nation’s history. As we enter the third decade of the 21st Century, Congress and the Administration face unprecedented political, environmental, economic, and military challenges, both domestic and international, which must be addressed effectively.

This four-day Enterprise Perspective Seminar will bring together a faculty of internationally recognized experts who, in an “off-the-record” setting, will discuss these issues and offer various perspectives on Administration policies and Congressional initiatives which will inevitably impact the Department of Defense.

From the rise of China to the disruptions of globalization, from the proliferation of nuclear weapons to the proliferation of lethal viruses, from cyber-attacks to terrorist attacks, this program will offer U.S policy planners the opportunity to address and discuss the complex array of challenges facing senior DoD managers in the years ahead.
