Great Expectations in the Joint Advanced Manufacturing Region

Abstract

Last year, in response to the Secretary of the Navy's direction to accelerate innovation across the Department of the Navy, a number of individuals responded with a hearty Aye, Aye and volunteered for duty on the Secretary's Innovation Task Force. The goals were aggressive: Challenge the status quo, reclaim a position on technology's leading edge, and defend it from our adversaries. The Vision represented clear guidance, a willingness to innovate, and a desire to slay bureaucratic demons. However, it was unclear how the engineers, scientists and junior military personnel in the field would tackle the Secretary's challenge from within the bureaucracy itself.
