This program is designed to immerse participants in diverse curriculum and unique settings which challenge their critical and creative thinking. The cohort applies Silicon Valley ecosystem characteristics to develop positive long term change and reinforce the Army’s vision of developing agile and adaptive leaders. During this program, a diverse group of facilitators will lead insightful and interactive exercises to explore some of the challenges facing the current and future force. Outreach to the community is a major component of the program, providing opportunities for the class to interact with members of academia, technology, business, and community leaders. Discussions highlight the importance of agility, acceptance of failure, velocity of developing ideas and inclusiveness to maximize the potential of a community.
