KINETIC DEVELOPMENT
Organizational Challenges
The nature of business today often mirrors the nature of modern combat. Individual decision-making at the ground level can have tactical, operational, and sometimes strategic impacts in the ever-evolving struggle to retain customers, stay ahead of competitors, and adapt to the threats of competition. Additionally, businesses face the challenge of incorporating characteristics desired by a younger workforce, resulting in difficulty retaining developed talent.
Our Solution
Fortunately, there is already a time-tested and proven method for competing in this exact environment and it has worked across generations. The US Marine Corps trains its force and leaders to win in environments of high uncertainty by teaching its organizational philosophy through innovative educational models. These models focus on how to think, rather than what to do.
“People, ideas, machines - in that order!”

Our Story
Kinetic Development is an organizational development firm whose focus is on improving individual decision-making, advancing leadership capability, and enhancing organizational culture. We build and facilitate highly interactive simulations using the principles of MCDP-1, an evolved philosophy espoused by the US Marine Corps. Our services merge classroom decision-making scenarios with hands-on practical application and teach students to not only survive, but thrive, in rapidly changing, uncertain environments. These experiences are custom-tailored to meet the client's specific goals.
Our instructor cadre is fielded from a talented and experienced mix of former Department of Defense and Intelligence Community Servicemembers. As practitioners of the philosophy of maneuver warfare, we believe that solutions to complex problems often come from synthesizing disparate people, ideas, and viewpoints, and we seek to employ this theory through the collective experience and knowledge of our staff as well as via collaboration with our clients’ expertise. Our instructors possess advanced degrees and corporate work experience that allows them to effectively connect valuable military leadership principles to the private sector. We also maintain an exclusive network of advisors, comprised of leadership from top-tier consulting firms, investment banks, Fortune-500 companies, unique startups, and highly accomplished, retired military personnel. Their guidance facilitates an unrivaled level of customization within our course offerings.
Kinetic Development LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). We strive to provide employment opportunities to our brothers and sisters who have served, in order to help them seamlessly transition into the next chapter of their lives. We are also committed to using our assets and resources to assist other veterans who, though home from deployment, still find themselves fighting difficult physical and emotional battles.
