Technology is an inherent aspect for both defense and warfare, and technology can often be a game changer when it comes to who wins and who loses. It is critical then for leaders to understand not only the technologies they are responsible for employing but those tangential that may impact the outcome of any engagement.

The Navy Senior Leader Seminar (NSLS) provides senior officers (O6/O5), senior civilians (GS-15) and Fleet/Force Command Master Chiefs with an intensive five-day executive education program that introduces the latest "best practices" in strategic planning.

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. Each team is assigned a professional facilitator who will serve as a guide and provide feedback.
