🚀 Radical Change: Why the DoD Must Embrace Program Cancellations In our discussion last Friday, Dan Ward offered a bold suggestion: the DoD should start more acquisition programs than it can complete and embrace cancellations as a sign of progress. 😱 (This is also in his book, FIRE, which is a must read!) Learn how this competitive approach can refine project selection and foster innovation, and how the 'experimentalist approach' helped a pizza company originally known as "DomiNicks" become a the fastest growing pizza restaurant in the 1980s. This real-world example from the commercial sector highlights a surprising parallel with more modern management for innovation used by "moonshot thinkers" like Alphabet's moonshot factory "X" - https://lnkd.in/eAjXqbA4 👉 How can Air Force leaders leverage this mentality to drive forward-thinking strategies?
