Booz Allen and Smart Power
An Integrated Approach to Whole-of-Government ChallengesAs technology and communications have made the world seem smaller and more accessible, the challenges we face—such as terrorism, energy security, climate change, pandemics, water shortages, and catastrophic natural disasters—are increasingly complex and intercon-nected. Addressing these issues effectively calls for equally complex and interconnected responses from across the government.
In recent years, all parts of the US government have wrestled with how best to work together to advance the national security agenda. Making our world safe, forging creative alliances, and bringing the full breadth of resources to bear requires a strategic integration of defense, diplomacy, and development tools and capabilities.
Today, the term “Smart Power” is used to describe the skillful combination of military, diplo-matic, development, economic, and cultural resources to achieve US national security objec-tives. First articulated in 2007 by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Smart Power implies the synchronization and integration of multiple government organizations to secure our national interests around the world.
Although the concept makes sense, how do government organizations translate Smart Power into operational realities and activities? What are the capabilities, expertise, and mechanisms that a variety of players can bring to bear? How do agencies with overlapping missions coordinate their organizations, cultures, budgets, processes, and technologies to achieve a common goal?
