Government Strategic Leader Program 
Today the most seasoned government leaders face extraordinary challenges in managing resources, information technologies, social networks, and leading globalized responses. As strategic leaders, they must respond to rapidly evolving national priorities and a dynamic environment. The NDU iCollege’s GSL Program provides government leaders the essential tools and strategies required to lead dynamic, complex, and diverse 21st Century organizations. The curriculum engages participants in understanding their organization’s unique role and those of other organizations, and how to collaborate to achieve organizational, inter-agency, and national mission and goals. Participants form a learning community to share knowledge, analyze and leverage strategic resources (human, technological, and financial), and create and articulate a vision for themselves and their organizations.
