Successfully Changing the Communication Culture in Military Organizations

<p>In 2004 General Hoss Cartwright introduced a social media innovation called SKI-Web to speed up communications and situational awareness within the U.S. Strategic Command headquarters. Today that single piece of software innovation is mostly gone but the communications culture it changed continues to live on. By comparing the change against some popular change management methodologies there are lessons to learn for military organizations wishing to copy USSTRATCOM's successful shift in communications paradigms.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
