Communities' Strategic Opportunities Through Broken Window Repair and Global Commons Improvements.

摘要

The recent years have had many fiscal oscillations and adjustments for many organizations worldwide. There has also been increased interest and application of several styles and types of intervention interactions whether in the style of counter-insurgency techniques, or of some policing methods and techniques, employed internationally. Noting that a shortage of resources/funding has an impact, calls to mind the phrase 'with no money, we must think.' When considering the recent financial oscillations this insight should be interpreted to mean that true creativity must be sought and applied, when finding solutions and the balance between ways, means, and will. This was highlighted in a recent speech by Secretary Hagel outlining six Defense priorities: institutional reform; adjustments to force planning precepts; facing military readiness challenges; protecting military capabilities investments; organizational balance; and personnel and compensation policy considerations. These priorities offer the starting framework for discussing them via the 'broken window repair' strategy and the possible linkage to management of the world's global commons. All of these factors and criteria are subject to learning from past experiences; application of operations and management lessons; and, research regarding the direct and indirect implications of any proposed changes. These changes may be parochial or local, or even associated with the global commons as related to the organizations communities, and individuals of the world community. Importantly, the framework of focus areas must be examined, discussed, and analyzed, even extended to other organizations and groups - in short, deeply and thoroughly thought about without or with money. Even to the point of adding the population as a new global common.
