Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with the choice of starting a company or joining a large corporation, Steve Jobs believed that it was 'more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy'. But for innovators inside established companies, making a distinction between being a pirate and joining the navy is a fallacy. We have to figure out a way to become pirates in the navy! There is nothing harder in business than trying to innovate within large corporations. Innovators in big companies often face internal opposition as well as their external competitors. It is the management of the core business that tends to get in the way of innovation. Most intrapreneurs recognise that innovation can’t be carried out as a series of one-off projects that always have to jump through political hurdles. They realise that there is a need for innovation to happen as a repeatable process. But how can they achieve this? This is a step-by-step guide to getting continuous innovation done in companies and reshaping them in the process. It is for anyone involved in corporate innovation and driving company change.

Book excerpt: Since 2000, the Navy has undertaken a number of initiatives to achieve greater efficiencies and reduce costs. For example, it has reduced crew sizes on some of its surface ships and has moved from instructor-led to more computer-based training. This report reviews the training, size, composition, and capabilities of the Navy¿s ship crews. It assesses the extent to which the Navy: (1) used valid assumptions and standards in determining crew sizes for cruisers and destroyers; and (2) has measured the impact of changes to its training programs, incl. the time it takes personnel to achieve various qualifications. This report analyzed Navy procedures for determining crew size compared to guidance, and analyzed current Navy metrics to measure training impact.
Download or read book Responding to Capability Surprise written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a military operational standpoint, surprise is an event or capability that could affect the outcome of a mission or campaign for which preparations are not in place. By definition, it is not possible to truly anticipate surprise. It is only possible to prevent it (in the sense of minimizing the number of possible surprises by appropriate planning), to create systems that are resilient to an adversary's unexpected actions, or to rapidly and effectively respond when surprised. Responding to Capability Surprise examines the issues surrounding capability surprise, both operational and technical, facing the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. This report selects a few surprises from across a continuum of surprises, from disruptive technologies, to intelligence-inferred capability developments, to operational deployments, and assesses what the Naval Forces are doing (and could do) about them while being mindful of future budgetary declines. The report then examines which processes are in place or could be in place in the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard to address such surprises. Today's U.S. naval forces continue to face a wide range of potential threats in the indefinite future and for this reason must continue to balance and meet their force structure needs. The recommendations of Responding to Capability Surprise will help to ensure more responsive, more resilient, and more adaptive behavior across the organization from the most senior leadership to the individual sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy initiated its Fleet Response Plan (FRP) in March 2003 to meet the new demands of the 21st cent. security environ. FRP is intended to more rapidly prepare & then sustain readiness in ships & squadrons. This new readiness approach will enable its forces to provide engagement in forward areas, as well as surge a greater number of ships on short notice. This goal can be achieved without increasing its operations & maint. budget of $40 billion for each of the next 5 years. But, the Navy had not incorp. a mgmt. approach to guide & assess implementation of FRP, This report examines the extent to which the Navy has: made progress in implementing a sound mgmt. approach for FRP; & evaluated the long-term risks & tradeoffs of FRP-related changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Navy wants to improve shore installation operations, readiness, and management by skillfully leveraging state-of-the-market technologies and business methods such as outsourcing, privatization, and partnerships with state and local governments, with a goal of reduced cost of infrastructure. For the Navy itself, where all forces float or fly, the shore establishment is synonymous with infrastructure, which includes "all activities that provide sup port or control of forces from fixed bases of operation."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why GAO Did This StudyIn 2010, the Navy concluded that decisions it made to increase efficiencies of its surface force had adversely affected ship readiness and service life. To improve ship readiness the Navy developed a new strategy, which includes several initiatives. House Report 112-78, accompanying a proposed bill for the Fiscal Year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R.1540), directed GAO to review the recent Navy initiatives. GAO assessed 1) how the Navy evaluates the material readiness of its surface combatant and amphibious warfare ships and the extent to which data indicate trends or patterns in the material readiness of these ships, and 2) the extent to which the Navy has taken steps to improve the readiness of its surface combatant and amphibious warfare ships, including implementing its new readiness strategy. GAO analyzed Navy policies, material and readiness data from January 2008-two years prior to the release of the Navy's 2010 report on the degradation of surface force readiness-through March 2012, two years after the release of the report, and interviewed headquarters and operational officials and ship crews.What GAO RecommendsGAO recommends that the Navy conduct a comprehensive assessment of the risks the new strategy faces and develop alternatives to mitigate these risks. DOD partially concurred, but felt that current assessments sufficiently identify risks. GAO continues to believe"

Download or read book Military Readiness written by Richard K. Betts and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout most of American history, U.S. military forces proved unready for the wars that were thrust upon them and suffered costly reverses in early battles. During the Cold War, for the first time, U.S. defense policy tried to maintain high readiness in peacetime. But now, with the Cold War over and defense budgets falling, what will happen to U.S. military forces? Will they revert to a state of unpreparedness or find a new balance? Politicians and military planners alike have found this crucial issue especially difficult to deal with because they have often misunderstood what readiness really means. In this book, security expert Richard Betts surveys problems in developing and measuring combat readiness before, during, and after the Cold War. He analyzes why attempts to maximize it often have counterproductive effects, and how confusions in technical concepts cause political controversy. The book explores conflicts between two objectives that are both vital but work against each other because they compete for resources: operational readiness to fight immediately, and structural readiness—the number of organized units that increase military power, but require time during a crisis to gear up for combat. Betts also discusses the problem brought on by the Cold War and plunging defense budgets: mobilization readiness—the plans and arrangements needed to shorten the time for recreating a large military if it once again becomes necessary. Betts offers new ideas for understanding the dilemmas and tradeoffs that underlie debates on how readiness should be maintained in peacetime, and he explores the strategic consequences of different choices.

This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since January 2017, the Navy has suffered four significant mishaps at sea that resulted in serious damage to its ships and the loss of 17 sailors. Three of these incidents involved ships homeported in Japan. In response to these incidents, the Chief of Naval Operations ordered an operational pause for all fleets worldwide, and the Vice Chief of Naval Operations directed a comprehensive review of surface fleet operations, stating that these tragic incidents are not limited occurrences but part of a disturbing trend in mishaps involving U.S. ships. This statement provides information on the effects of homeporting ships overseas, reducing crew size on ships, and not completing maintenance on time on the readiness of the Navy and summarizes GAO recommendations to address the Navy's maintenance, training, and other challenges. In preparing this statement, GAO relied on work it has published since 2015 related to the readiness of ships homeported overseas, sailor training and workload issues, maintenance challenges, and other issues. GAO updated this information, as appropriate, based on Navy data.
