Great chat with @StanMcChrystal on change mgmt. "Adaptable > Efficiency" + "Don't do what you're told; do what you should've been told"

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Great stuff in this @WIRED piece by @jasonptama on DoD's #SiliconValley strategy. Prescriptive, but realistic. http://t.co/qFhsslh5xJ.

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Balanced recap from @ypfp on @BrookingsInst debate about US mil options to #ISIS. http://t.co/58ufANjGgG @MichaelEOHanlon @ChrisMurphyCT

Great piece in @defense_news on redirecting DoD's #SiliconValley engagement plan. Exploit high tech in small places http://t.co/7cR9gNG5Ck

Excited to continue broaden my look into the defense sector both at home and internationally at @Avascent!

@elliebartels @MilitaryTimes @TimmerKane Mgmt skills stem from deep system IQ + legit authority; tough combo for fast-rotating DoD leaders

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Solid, data-driven piece in @MilitaryTimes from @TimmerKane. A good leader w/strong purpose can be a poor manager http://t.co/F6ZpnjWwJg

Kendall calls F-35 "acquisition malpractice"/opposes boosting acq authority for service chiefs. History backs him up http://t.co/IzskWviNp1

Finding a Cure for What Ails Defense Acquisition http://t.co/B8Itfltxnk @AlexHaber @RajSharmaDC critical view of DoD's BBP 3.0

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Good point about the "double whammy" of military comp from @Carter_PE at #DefenseReformConsensus. More base pay= higher retirement earnings

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

At #DefenseReformConsensus @RepAdamSmith condemns "parochialism in politics." Will the day really come when members BRAC themselves?

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Solid talk on @DeptofDefense reform w/#DefenseReformConsensus. Congress is making strides, but avoids the beast that is healthcare @MEaglen

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

DoD needs to better appeal to #SiliconValley desire to get rich and change the world. @stevegrundman says it can be done. @ACScowcroft

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

The number of dollars in DoD modernization budget for Silicon Valley is marginal. Inject more funding? @stevegrundman @ACScowcroft

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Why is Silicon Valley skittish on DoD? To start, LTG Pat Riley says processes are "monumentally longer" @BarryPavel @ACScowcroft @K8brannen

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Enhance reward for success in order to take big risks. SOCOM has done it w/o a carrot. http://t.co/368e646Ppr @stevegrundman @BarryPavel

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Solid point on IP concerns re: DoD engagement w/Silicon Valley. NDAs/trust issues are granular, but critical. @mchorowitz @ACScowcroft

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Strategy is necessary, but implementation is key. Onus for execution falls on rank-and-file. http://t.co/TN6XXf4QEW @K8brannen @ACScowcroft

[Alex Haber @AlexHaber]

Encouraging that DoD engagement w/Silicon Valley is bipartisan. Can the thrust live on beyond Carter/Work/Kendall? @mchorowitz @ACScowcroft
