Summary	The NSTC Accessions MMOWGLI game is intended to support Navy professionals exploring what are the best sets of professional core competencies (pcc) for guiding the accession and acceptance of new officer candidates into the Navy. The Massive Multiplayer Online War Game Leveraging the Internet (MMOWGLI) is a Web-based idea-exploration game that encourages innovative thinking about some of the world’s most wicked problems. MMOWGLI is designed to support large number of distributed global players working together on idea generation and action planning, with an eye towards surfacing innovative outlier strategies. For the NSTC Accessions challenges at hand, experts at multiple stakeholder Navy commands need to better understand the opportunities and identify effective paths forward. This project reduces the need for participant travel to confer and meet a recurring 3-year review requirement by multiple Navy commands. Broad collaboration using MMOWGLI to conduct brainstorming of new ideas and generate action-plan alternatives is expected to be essential for charting the way ahead for this major Navy-wide initiative. Initial work for this project was pursued in partnership and with partial matching support by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
