A Theory of Enterprise Coherence
Why do organizations full of capable people still struggle to act intelligently? Explore how knowledge, incentives, systems, and decisions shape enterprise performance.
American Industrial Capability Project
Strengthening America's ability to build extraordinary things.
America has a proud history of making great things. We believe its next industrial chapter can be greater still.
America possesses extraordinary industrial talent, technology, and capital. Yet enormous opportunities remain unrealized because productive capability depends on how companies, suppliers, investors, and institutions fit together. Decisions made in one organization shape what becomes possible in another.
The American Industrial Capability Project (AICP) brings together original research, experienced industry leaders, and systemic understanding to discover opportunities others miss, connect the people and capabilities needed to pursue them, and help make American industry more capable.
Where we're starting
Our ambition is to revitalize the American economy by strengthening its industrial capabilities, with manufacturing at the center of our work. We begin with the defense industrial base, where the urgency of expanding production makes both the challenges and the opportunities especially consequential.
Explore the thinking behind the project
Industrial Base Coherence
Industrial strength emerges from relationships among suppliers, manufacturers, capital, technology, and institutions. Explore how those relationships determine what the larger system can accomplish.
Help shape what's next
We're bringing together people who want America to be better at building what matters. Early participants can help shape the inquiries we pursue, the relationships we develop, and the practical opportunities we bring to life.
