Think Differently: Special Edition: Increasing the Urgency on Acquisition Speed AND Security
Description:
To shield against the threat of great power competition within the realm of national security and defense, the acquisition process plays a pivotal role. In particular, the speed and security of the acquisition process are paramount. To address this challenge, DAU is leading an effort to increase the sense of urgency across the national security ecosystem, industry, and academia by embracing a set of principles to change the way the acquisition workforce thinks, learns, and leads in terms of acquisition programs and outcomes. Join us for this special edition of “Think Differently” to hear from thought leaders across the DoD, DAU, academia, and industry and engage in the conversation to center acquisition on speed AND security.
Outpace China – A Call to Action
This “Call to Action” seeks to inspire our community of stakeholders to think about how America can outpace China’s effort to arise as the dominant global power. The most effective way for America to out-compete a more assertive and authoritarian China is a long-term focus to invest in our people, economy, and democracy. America must continue to improve our technology refresh rate, embrace and expand innovation, secure our innovative efforts (commercial and defense) and do it faster than our competitors do. America has a defense objective to establish an unmatched twenty-first century National Security Innovation Base that effectively supports Department of Defense operations and sustains security and solvency. We prioritize China as our number one pacing
challenge. As a result, we ask our community of stakeholders to take action to support our National Strategies to help guarantee American security and prosperity. In doing so, we commit to each other that we (Academia, Industry, and Government) will actively serve and protect America’s best interest.
