Annually, two or more officers from each Service who have earned a reputation for insightful long-range planning, organizational and management innovation, and implementation of new information and other technologies are selected to receive their senior service college credit by training with Corporate America. In this program, they are exposed to businesses reshaping organizational structures and methods of operations to provide innovative and competitive advantages. They are able to glean the best of change, innovation, and leading edge business practices that could be implemented to transform DoD. SDCFP alumni form a cadre of future Service leaders made knowledgeable in the organizational and operational opportunities made possible by the revolutionary changes in information and other technologies.
