“...cult of ignorance in United States; there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through all political & cultural life, nurtured by false notion democracy means my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Azimov

Gerst's regretful removal as NASA's exploration leader -- NASA's again forcing return to rushing schedule and knowingly under estimating cost on path to moon. Reckless response to the W/House's displeasure. It isn't that NASA cannot learn, it is that they cannot remember.

Ldr: We are drowning in data!
Me: [looks at puddle, blinks]
Ldr: We need AI/ML!
Me: Let’s ask this Airmen why there is so little data.
Airmen: I use the whiteboard to do my job. Our enterprise apps suck.
Me: I think we need to build new enterprise apps.
Ldr: AI/ML initiatives!
To deliver Quality over Quantity, you must actually measure Quality. We know about our machines, but I've yet to see @USNavy #measurewhatmatters from our human element: tactical performance, not #readiness proxies. #talentmanagement brookings.edu/research/quali…
Applying #nudge to work performance. Much needed.

It strikes me again and again that companies already HAVE all the innovation talent AND ideas they need.
What they DO NOT HAVE are tools, processes, rituals, KPIs, & incentives required for innovation to thrive!
Why not? Because they’re optimized for management not innovation.

Democracy is under threat all around the world. There are four stages to dismantling a democracy, starting with a charismatic leader who pledges to save the people

Its not the methodology, but how you borrow the best parts of them and bolt them together to get the your current job done that counts...then start all over again!
I talked to 50+ leaders and consultants about what "agile"means. Read 10+ books. I agree with many principles and grasped it when it focused on software. I am now confused. It has become a huge tent with varied jargon monoxide.Consider this graphic via the brilliant @stevedenning
#DoD #innovation activity has dropped off precipitously this morning. Maybe finally time to check out @SPAWARHQ 's #inFUSION ?

I couldn't agree more, @GuySnodgrass!
Next task: the #frozenmiddle's risk aversion!
Rapid prototyping, a willingness to accept risk, and relentless pursuit of excellent. What's not to like?
