This study explores options such as expanding the Executive Office of the President, expanding the role of the National Security Council, and creating an Office of National Strategy as part of interagency transformation. This study also draws conclusions regarding the costs and benefits of these forms of transformation, the possible mechanisms that could drive transformation, and the need to determine guiding principles that will determine how the interagency system will be employed. This study examines the interconnection between governmental structure, processes, and models of multi-lateral contention.
