The lack of "consumability" of some information coming out of critial parts of the bureacracy is a critical issue for novice innovators. CSPAN and the white house media pages, DVIDS are your best friends when it comes to on the ground evidence. If it doesn't get picked up in War on the Rocks, your favorite 'podcast' - maybe people don't see or hear it!? Dr. Marina Theodotou, Michael Mullen, Alexis B., Michael Kanaan, James Appathurai, Colin kane, Mike Bloomberg Does our need/ effort to communicate end when the message gets posted? Raw: https://lnkd.in/gMFj-NF9 Key Quotes: Admiral Mullen, "The building (Pentagon) is very risk averse and the requirement is to move very rapidly, which is going to require a significant increase in the appetite for risk." "We’ve got to stop rewarding mediocrity. We need to accelerate speed, really put ourselves on the clock. Almost as if we were at war." "We need to align our mission to drive innovation very specifically and learn from the best, especially in addressing the lack of flexibility in funding." Alexis Bonnell "The number one thing our adversary wants is for us to be scared of our own technology. So coming back in was really a commitment to the idea of how do we reduce the fear and make it easier for people to innovate?" "Toil eats purpose faster than mission can replace it... without taking away all of the extra, it becomes very difficult to do something new or novel." "Time is a weapons platform. It's our most important weapons platform. But if we don't treat a minute as important as a missile, then we waste them and invest them in the wrong places." Michael Kanaan "Technology, no matter the type, is a human endeavor, and people are at the core of what we do." "The DoD doesn't have the luxury of looking at bonuses or corporate profit margins on a 10-K statement. The shareholders are capital currency often boils down to the narrative words and a mission well done." "As I often like to say, you can't hack the bureaucracy unless you understand the bureaucracy, and an educated workforce must be the ones to build an environment that supports the adoption of technology." "The most profound AI impacts will inevitably be...in the back office functions, at least in the short term...an area overlooked for its lack of glamor compared to warfighting applications." "The question is not whether we are risk averse. But rather, is that a euphemism for risk blind...what is lost because we haven't made the trade off."

Somebody get these guys a copy of ABMS Transformational Model. That's been studied in board room meetings for 6-9 years without any value. Looks like a perfect match of admiration.
W. Ethan Eagle🔴🟡 Thank you for highlighting key messaging from the Defense Innovation Board Summer Public Meeting. Innovation never sleeps and our collective effort to communicate never ends.
Paul Garcia thank you. The only admiration we have for your incredible service and that of all our warfighters. For everything else we strive for practical action.

3moAllies and Partners Study: Charles Phillips, "The number one issue we found is that there's no pathway for working with the DoD if you're coming from another country. No one knows how it works. It's too fragmented." "If we could collectively work with our partners, we can recreate that scale a different way—shared systems, equipment, and data." "We used to think we were the only ones innovating. That's the wrong way to think about it now... we need to be aware of what our partners are doing and coordinate our research and engineering." "We need to rethink the supply chain. Our partners can help with that... We're too reliant on some of our adversaries for components, such as lithium from China and Russia." "We make it hard to work well with the DoD. Compliance standards, such as CMMC and ITAR, even for U.S. companies, sometimes take years to get approvals."
