Maritime Innovation: a discussion with NPS faculty and students
Description
Today@NPS
A better title than Innovation, the achievement of which too many people theorize about without
success these days, would be the ossification seen in big organizations like the Navy and what to do
about it. But a talk about ossification, or rigidity, or calcification, or sclerosis, or intransigence would
sound too petulant. So after a few words describing two aspects of the contemporary Navy’s
problem, I’m going to flip to the other side of the coin and talk about two beacons of innovative
success to inspire actions that may free us to get going with productive, affordable innovation. One
is in the Navy at large, and one is here at NPS
