Towards a U.S. Army officer corps strategy for success : employing talent /

Efficient talent employment is at the core of the Army Officer Human Capital Model. However, the Army's current employment paradigm is unequal to the needs of a professional, volunteer Army facing the twin challenges of a competitive labor market and an increasingly complex global operating environment. It unduly prioritizes "fairness" when making assignments, has a narrowly defined pathway to senior leadership ranks, cannot see the talent it possesses, and suffers from severe principal-agent problems. Optimal employment theories, information age tools, and well-regulated market mechanisms can help the Army match individual officer talents against specific work requirements, reducing risk and achieving the depth and breadth of talent it needs, both now and in the future.

Report on the state and regional development strategy /

In August 1999, the State and Regional Development Strategy Act was signed into law, initiating a multi-year, strategic planning process for economic development in Illinois. In the statute, the General Assembly noted that 'an essential step to assist the Illinois economy, both on a statewide and on a local level, to respond to increasingly competitive global conditions and economic trends is to establish a consensus on a long-term economic development strategy that recognizes both the competitive position of the state's regions and needs of commerce and industry.' The statute directs the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA) to implement the strategic planning process.
