Update:
This was a terrific event with wide participation. We were anxious for feedback on our Evergreen process and received excellent participation. More to follow in the future on our Evergreen effort.

Taking a stab at real time blogging to test our new system.
I first became involved in scenario based planning when I was Resource Director under Chief of Staff VADM Jim Loy. That work evolved into the Evergreen Process whereby we test potential strategies against a range of future worlds.
The current Evergreen effort has been expanded to include stakeholders and tonight I am meeting with them to kick of their workshop. The group is very diverse and includes maritime industry, environmental NGOs, rail industry, port operators, think tanks, and CG field commanders.
They just received their in brief: The "7 Revolutions" presentation from the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a primer on scenario based planning.
At dinner I will talk about Maritime Policy, International Maritime Governance, and Partnerships.
Will provide an update tomorrow.
