Benchmarking Partners Events
September 14, 2011
Benchmarking Partners facilitates a best practices plenary session on social media and
small business jobs growth for the National Defense Transportation Association Forum.
The talk caps presentations by General Duncan McNabb and Dr. Eric Haseltine, and
features Miles Smith Farm owner, Carole Soule.
Small businesses count. According the the U.S. Small business Administration, small businesses
make up 99.7% of the 30 million enterprises in the U.S. and Canada employing just over half of
all private sector employees and generating 64% of net new jobs over the past 15 years.
Most small businesses missed the upside from Web 1.0 Internet commerce, and now feel like
they might miss the Web 2.0 social media upside as well. Will small businesses simply miss out
on this Web 2.0 revolution? Or will location-based participation in social media be a catalyst for
unprecedented success for small businesses?
The talk describes how leading community enterprises from the Miles Smith Farm to the New
Hampshire Motor Speedway use Big Ten social media channels to grow their businesses by
listening to and engaging with their customers. Small businesses like these aim to lead the next
generation of Internet commerce through localized and specialized social media promotion of
their products and services.

Benchmarking Partners Joint Mobilization Roundtable
Agenda:
I. Overview: The Joint Mobilization Roundtable focuses on how the public and private sector can expand capabilities to prevent, prepare for, or respond to catastrophic incidents. Participants are senior executives from the private sector and the public sector. The agenda covers mobilization best practices based on lessons learned from Haiti, Chile, Katrina, and other recent wake-up calls. This is a private sector-driven initiative coordinated by Benchmarking Partners and serves as a follow up to the 2006 Benchmarking sessions at Walmart and in Washington, D.C. with the DHS, DoD, DNI, and the private sector.
II. Goals: To exchange best practices for simple public/private information sharing and collaboration that will improve emergency prevention, preparedness, and response.
Core questions we will address are:
- What progress have we made based on Haiti, Chile, Katrina, and other emergency management experience?
- What simple, standard steps can the Public Sector (civilian and military) and Private Sector take to further expand capabilities in the National Response Framework?

Joint Mobilization
Roundtable
The Joint Mobilization Roundtable focuses on how the public sector and the private sector can expand capabilities to prevent, prepare for, or respond to catastrophic incidents. Participants are senior executives from the private sector and the public sector.
This Roundtable gathers public and private sector executives concerned with mobilization best practices in light of what was learned from the Hurricane Katrina experience and other recent “wake-up calls”. This is a private sector-driven initiative[1] sponsored by Benchmarking Partners and the National Defense Transportation Association’s Security Best Practice Committee for which Benchmarking Partners serves as the chair. The Roundtable builds on three prior Benchmarking Partners and NDTA Security Best Practices Committee sessions for leaders from government and industry: the first one kicked off by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on joint public/private mobilization for security and efficiency; the second convened with the DHS Deputy Secretary on critical infrastructure protection; and the third bringing together members of the Intelligence Community with private sector executives on more proactive prevention, preparation, and response to incidents of national significance.
This May 3-4 Roundtable aims to improve prevention of, preparedness for, and response to catastrophic incidents--either man-made or natural. Roundtable participants will share the executive agenda for joint mobilization based on lessons from Katrina, existing programs, and emerging initiatives.
The key questions we will address are:
· What lessons did the participating leaders learn during their Hurricane Katrina experience?
· What is the pragmatic roadmap for how the Public Sector (civilian and military) and Private Sector can jointly expand capabilities to prevent or respond to catastrophic circumstances?
· What exercises and initiatives will strengthen joint prevention, preparedness, and response?

not be utilized by them or their government agencies. As such, it does not fall
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

Joint Security Best
Practice Roundtable
The Roundtable focused on
resolving a high-priority vulnerability issue: SDDC commercial carriers of
Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E) who already have their security
clearance, but currently carry only company-issued identification. The
discussion centered on the pragmatic and voluntary application of the
Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Transportation Worker
Identification Credential (TWIC) by SDDC's commercial AA&E carriers as a
way to fill the gap for an authenticated, common credential.
The context for the
discussion was an overall Joint CONOPS for Transportation Security by the global
public and private sector. The Roundtable goal was to achieve executive
alignment on the AA&E TWIC Initiative as precursor to a business case,
information sharing agreement, and mobilization as the next step of the Joint
CONOPS.
Since the session, a working
group has begun addressing these business case and test pilots on the way to
full mobilization. Participants represent SDDC, TRANSCOM, DHS, and
the AA&E commercial carriers.
Roundtable members included:
·
Major General Butch
