Senior Comms : Booting up the New New DDS Project

Hibiscus, Senior Communications Officer

Since AP came to power in the DDS to steer a steady course in a shaken DDS without a commander there has been much talk of the new direction AP is taking the DDS. While The Orchid was trying to renew the New DDS Project AP has decided a new path must be taken if the DDS is to formulate a multi-vector approach to the myriad of challenges the DDS now faces.

AP has not given his work a name so i shall cheekily call it the New New DDS Project. He has seen that the DDS must be able to deploy a full spectrum approach to challenges and tackle them head-on. The old way was to action objectives serially but the New New DDS Project must action objectives employing an asymmetric approach.

We're adopting full-duplex actioning as our model of operations. Key to our new ideas will be full management of communications and expectations. The DDS has been very slack in this up until now but you will be seeing some changes for sure in how we communicate within and without the DDS in future.

AP has instructed me to action a full review of the information architecture of the DDS and deploy some helicopter thinking on the communications throughput of the DDS. The DDS has many old and ingrained processes which we will weed out and replace with new thinking that better facilitates the full-duplex asymmetric communications of the New New DDS Project!
