= STRATEGY #2: PROMOTING A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY =
== The United States Military is designed to create and shape a certain mindset: one of excellence, perfection, and zero tolerance for failure. While extremely valuable in many military domains, this disposition can lead to a lack of creativity in areas where development and innovative solutions are most needed. In order to combat this problem, we must advocate for and advance the notion of failing in the laboratory to excel on the battlefield. Our purpose is to better equip the warfighters downrange by prototyping and experimenting beforehand in the comfort of our learning leadership laboratories. To instill these practices and turn this vision into a reality, we must tackle these two main points: 1/ We must directly teach cadets, faculty, and staff the design and exponential thinking processes, leading them through workshops and implementing the process from inception to application. These processes can be taught and utilized in the classrooms and in the squadrons, covering both the academic and military portion of the Academy. Tactic #12: ==Outside Forces
Expose cadets, faculty, and staff to outside innovative and creative forces. By exposing the Academy to design workshops, creative thinking events, and inspirational speakers we will begin to bridge the understanding and application gap that exists in military environments. Seeing the innovative practices at work and going through that process will help to solidify people’s grasp on how to most effectively utilize these tools and how to go about implementing valuable solutions. Moreover, by partnering with non-military organizations, the Academy will be able to participate in some of the traditionally non-governmental spaces, allowing for a wider breadth of exposure and understanding. Overall: connect and see projects through.
