We bring purpose driven defence practitioners, educators and researchers together for enhancing capabilities to unlock novel strategic and organizational possibilities across NATO members and partners. Hence the ARCHIPELAGO to capture both the uniqueness and affinities between individuals and organizations contributing to a reflexive turn across security & defence communities. We believe in reflexive leadership, emboldened by innovation methodologies to inspire people, transform organizations, and ultimately improve the human condition. We are nurturing an avant-garde, inclusive, and independent community of practice committed to continuously pushing the boundaries of defence and security ecosystems with our NATO allies and partners, and we commit to the dutiful exploration of the complex relationship(s) between design-inspired conceptual innovation, organizational design, and change leadership.
