CEE Strategic Communication Workshop (SCW)
The Strategic Communication Workshop (SCW) is a hands-on, results-oriented workshop that assists commands in the development and implementation of strategic communication plans and processes. Teams should bring their command's strategic plan and/or a command initiative that might benefit from a communication component. Naval Postgraduate School faculty use the latest research and lessons learned from industry and DoD to generate discussion.
Questions To Be Addressed During The Workshop
• What strategic analysis is supporting your communication tactics?
• Who are your key stakeholders and how do they impact the achievement of your goals?
• What messages are your actions conveying, both inside and outside your organization?
• How does communication provide the linkage between day-to-day activities and commander's priorities?
• Are you maximizing your strategic effects with associated communication processes?
Who Should Attend?
Suggested workshop attendees are teams of 3-5 key organizational members led by a Flag Officer, SES, or O-6. Commands should send a diverse group -- seniority, functional areas, and others who are familiar with the initiative (e.g. Planners, IO, PAO, HR, IT, Policy, and/or Operations).
The Location
The SCW is conducted in the spaces of the Center for Executive Education on the campus of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California or in designated Fleet concentration locations, as designated on our main webpage. If at NPS, lodging is available on-base at the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites in historic Herrmann Hall.

CEE Strategic Planning for Execution: Assessment and Risk (SPEAR)
The Strategic Planning for Execution: Assessment and Risk (SPEAR) Workshop provides a guided process to support Commanders and their executive teams to develop mission-critical strategic plans, execute those plans effectively, maximize Navy resources, and accurately assess the impact of their plans.

• How will emerging internal and external changes impact your strategic plans?
• What are the most important objectives for your command to achieve?
• What distinctive capabilities position your command for sustained high performance?
• How do you assess your objectives and select metrics that assure intended results?
• What risks are associated with your plans, and how do you mitigate risk?
• Are you maximizing your organizational leadership capabilities to gain support and resources for your strategic initiative?

We recommend sending teams of at least 3-5, led by a Flag Officer, SES, or O-6. The SPEAR goal is for each team to strengthen their organization's strategic planning process with attention to desired outcomes, metric selection and risk management. The workshop is effectively a structured and facilitated off-site for senior leadership and staff to focus on advancing their command's effectiveness to accomplish key strategic goals. Each participating team can take away from the SPEAR workshop an improved strategic plan and assessment with clear, measurable objectives that enable all levels of the command to align their decisions and actions to achieve organizational success.
The Location
The SPEAR is conducted in the spaces of the Center for Executive Education on the campus of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California or in designated Fleet concentration locations, as designated in our main webpage.
