Improving PTSD Treatment for US Military Personnel
via Enterprise Architecting
MIT SDM Systems Thinking Webinar Series
Elizabeth Cilley Southerlan, SDM '12
Strategic IT and Operations Manager, Health and Life Sciences, Oliver Wyman
Date: November 4, 2013
Time: Noon – 1 p.m. EDT
Free and open to all
About the Presentation
This webinar centers on how SDM alumna Elizabeth Cilley Southerlan used enterprise architecting to investigate the current state of post-traumatic stress disorder treatment (PTSD) at Camp Lejeune's existing military psychological health enterprise (MPHE). 
Southerlan will discuss using enterprise architecting to:
  • investigate the camp's current (as–is) state; and
  • work in conjunction with multilevel analysis techniques to create a framework that could support the transformation of this complex, multilevel enterprise.
She will also describe takeaways—including dominant views of the organization, its processes, and the importance of stakeholder analysis—and review suggestions for the MPHE's transformation to better serve our soldiers.
We invite you to join us!
