Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to draw out some of the implications of the 9/11 Commission Report for California’s Homeland Defense and Security and to address government failures identified in that report. The question the paper addresses is: How can we design organizational arrangements and staff them to institutionalize imagination, foster organizational adaptability, and overcome ineffective operational management? A Matrixed Networks Model is proposed to “restructure” the way California government is organized to achieve the performance objectives alluded to in the above research question.
