Tune In: Defense Innovation Board Public Meeting

The mission of the Defense Innovation Board is to provide the Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary of Defense, and other senior leaders across the Department with independent advice and recommendations on innovative means to address future challenges through the prism of three focus areas: people and culture, technology and capabilities, and practices and operations.

The Defense Innovation Board (DIB) has an unprecedented opportunity to harness the experience and ideas of its members to provide independent advice to the Secretary of Defense on identifying and achieving long-needed reform within DoD. Recruited specifically for their expertise outside the military environment, DIB members are uniquely positioned to propose creative solutions to the structural, operational, technological, and workforce challenges DoD faces – and provide U.S. warfighters and personnel supporting them with the solutions they need to achieve the DoD mission.

📍ICYMI: The Defense Innovation Board completed a research trip to Europe in May in support of the U.S. National Defense Strategy by engaging with #UK and #NATO allies and combatant command partners. #Defense #COCOM ➡️Learn More: <a href="https://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/Documents/pubs/2018-National-Defense-Strategy-Summary.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/Documents/pubs/2018-National-Defense-Strategy-Summary.pdf</a> Day 1: The Defense Innovation Board kicked off their fact-finding trip with a day-long visit at the Ministry of Defence. The DIB learned about the UK's innovation ecosystem and met with their Defence External Advisory Panel to discuss shared challenges and how the #MOD and #DOD can work together to promote innovation in technologies, organizational practices, and people and culture. Day 2: The #DefenseInnovationBoard visited Brussels for another day of learning at NATO. The Board heard from #NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller ‏and staff about the need for innovation and ongoing efforts to optimize collaboration across the Alliance. Day 3-4: On the final leg of the trip, the Board visited Stuttgart for day-long (and evening!) engagements with U.S. European Command (EUCOM) and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). These visits complement previous combatant command engagements as the Board continues to research and analyze DoD-wide challenges and opportunities for innovation. ✅RECAP: These discussions greatly influence the recommendations put forth by the #DefenseInnovationBoard in their mission to catalyze #innovation across #DOD. ➡️Learn More: <a href="https://innovation.defense.gov/Recommendations/" target="_blank">https://innovation.defense.gov/Recommendations/</a>
