The U.S. national security establishment, developed to fight the Cold War, has not seemed to adapt itself successfully to address new challenges in the 21st century. Instead, leaders have relied on the military instrument of national power at the expense of other instruments. National security professionals (NSPs) comprise the arsenal used to develop whole-of-government strategies to achieve national security objectives. While members of each organization need to work together to solve national security issues, competing priorities often make collaborative decisions difficult. The purpose of this qualitative Delphi design study was to gain consensus from civilian and military NSPs regarding suggested ways to balance competing or contradictory priorities between departments and/or agencies when working together on an issue of national interest. Using expert panelists from each instrument of national power, this Delphi design provided an iterative process to search for consensus. After three rounds of surveys, five solutions emerged as the top candidates with a convergence towards consensus to answer purpose of this research. The top five solutions for decision makers were as follows: (a) spearhead an ethos of trust and transparency; (b) have an open door policy with unfettered access to the decision maker; (c) have a process for testing new ideas; (d) enlist "failure as an option" mindset; and (e) define cross-functional (i.e., diverse areas of expertise) teams in all instruments. These five strategies could be used to assist national security leadership in finding innovative approaches for solving complex problems that face NSPs.
