Description
This book is a compilation of papers presented at the International Transformation Conference in Stockholm, Swweden on June 2-3, 2009. The conference was hosted by the Swedish Defence Research Agency at their Division of Information Systems in Kista. The papers are organized according to the categories of culture, interagency, transformation initiatives, leadership, and adaptive organizations. This sequence was chosen to group papers with common themes so that readers could follow the logic and findings of each paper more easily. The book represents the views of the authors, most of whom are members of the Internatinal transformation Chairs Network that was founded in the United States in 2004 by retired Vice Admiral Arthyr K. Cebrowski, who then served as the Director of the U.S. Department of Deeefense Office of Force Transformation. Since that time, the organization had added members from the United Kingdom,Sweden, Australia, Singapore, and NATO. The mision of the International Chairs Network is to provide a forum ro challenge thinkingm leverage shared knowledge, and inform the debate about the international security implications of global transformation. The vision of the group is that the efforts of these types of activities will ultimately result in a group of national security leaders who are prepared for a future filled with complexity, chaos, and surprise. Publication of this book is one step in the process of reaching this goal. We hope that this book is valuable to you as you seek to transform your part of the world.
