Capabilities-Based
Planning II: Identifying, Classifying and Measuring Risk in a Post 9-11 World
Booz Allen Hamilton,
McLean, VA
4-6 April 2006
Dear Colleague,
The October 2004 MORS workshop on
Capabilities-Based Planning (CBP) evoked an enthusiastic response from the more
than 230 attendees. The goal of the
workshop was to inform the community about where the Department of Defense is in
implementing this new paradigm for planning, to review the lexicon associated
with this approach and suggest changes, and to exchange concepts and new ideas
that will further the development of the Secretary’s CBP initiative.
The workshop included classified sessions where U.S. members explored
specific implementations in the Department as well as unclassified sessions that
included specific examination of how some of our allies are using CBP.
One of the charges of the workshop was to identify topics for a follow-on
workshop. A key feature of both the
October workshop and continuing discussion in the Department is the prospective
CBP approach to risk. In December
2004, the MORS Sponsors approved combining the proposed follow-on CBP workshop
with planning for a dedicated workshop to address risk in order to provide
specific focus to the risk effort while continuing to evolve understanding and
application of the CBP initiative.
The Military Operations Research Society has
organized a workshop entitled "Capabilities-Based Planning II:
Identifying, Classifying and Measuring Risk in a Post 9-11 World."
This workshop will update the participants on the latest DoD leadership guidance
regarding Capabilities-Based Planning, and expand the theory of CBP to include
specific focus on risk. It will
also develop analytic approaches to the multiple levels of planning addressing
appropriate risk issues at each level.
This workshop will be held 4-6 April 2006 at Booz
Allen Hamilton, McLean, Virginia. Registration
will begin at 0700 on Tuesday, the 4th. The workshop will be preceded by an
optional preparatory session on Monday afternoon, 3 April 2006, also at BAH.
