Data workflows… Starts with who’s talking to whom (information exchanges’) Then their systems that each as a ‘role’ - contributor - editor : the human - machine portion of the reference architecture Then the configured element being the ports / protocols that machines use to exchange their information - the machine to machine …. The hidden exchange is the data as it is introduced / shared / changed … data exchanges Reference Architecture…… Mission Organization People Machines Systems Data
The U.S. military's wealth of experience is unparalleled. But how can they turn that experience into actionable insights for both humans and machines? A data-centric approach to warfare may hold the key. By integrating digital workflows and knowledge across its business and warfighting functions, the Department of Defense can capitalize on missed opportunities and transform its military experience into a machine-augmented, battle-tested force. As Ben Needles pointed out two years ago, digital knowledge is key to achieving this transformation. But it's not just about data and AI without context of outcomes. Over the years, many people have focused on improving mission workflows, and their influence has helped refine our narrative. The U.S. military's ability to harness its experience is what our adversaries fear the most. Let's move from PowerPoint to power moves and ensure that new technology is deployed at the speed of relevance! Thank you Bakari Dale, Joe OCallaghan, and Zach Riley for collaborating on this piece! Incredible thought leaders and doers in this space. We learned a lot about the importance of digital workflows and knowledge in the context of warfighting from many folks over the years.
