Sponsor Marine Corps Headquarters (Marine Corps)
Summary This proposal is to fund a Tailored Support (TS) pilot for the US Marine Corps modeled after the Tailored Support for US Navy Flag Officers. The TS design provides one-on-one discussions in a confidential setting for individual Flag Officers transitioning into positions of increased responsibility and visibility. TS courses are personalized, 2-4 –day, desk-side discussions with NPS faculty and subject matter experts. The agenda for Tailored Support is developed from the unique challenges of the upcoming assignment, from the individual’s preferences based on qualifications and background and incumbent recommendations whenever possible. Follow-up and reach-back support is also available. Examples of modules for Tailored Support:
- Change management/Strategy/Communication
- Leadership, Diversity, and Performance
- Service contracts: Executive overview
- Knowledge Management and Transfer
- Trends in Asian Economics and Security
In this proposal, SES Dr. Todd Calhoun will be the student. He has selected 3 specific topics to focus on: Big Data, Cyber Security and Operations, and Risk Assessment/Risk Management.
