How you manage your environment will depend largely on what that environment is, and what you need from it. How you go about managing your environment, on the other hand, can be pretty formulaic. Try out these tips for how to approach optimising your space: - Control the stuff that you can, don’t try to control the stuff that you can’t - Start with the most fundamental needs, and build up from there. Don’t start with the nice-to-have and neglect the basics. - If you need help from the people within that environment, ask them! Most reasonable people won’t refuse a request if it’s asked of them nicely. - Don’t bother to try and get things perfect. Once it’s good enough, that’ll do for now. Tinker later.

I had a great time moderating this panel on the evolving #cyber threat landscape and emerging technology trends in FS. We covered everything from supply chain to #AI and #PQC, and this group shared a wealth of knowledge and experiences in the sector. While threats continue to accelerate, so do the opportunities to optimize defenses and enable the business. Booz Allen Hamilton FS-ISAC

Sneak peek into this week’s SDI Sponsor Spotlight Interview 📽️ TJ Rowe, Chief Revenue Officer at Second Front Systems spoke with our colleague Tim Chrisman about how their team is accelerating the delivery of commercial software to government networks, and emerging trends in defense innovation. "We want to create an ecosystem where modern software has a pathway to engage with the national security market," TJ shared. "We can't actually adopt these technologies if we can't adopt software as a service in a modern way." No longer are the days of using PowerPoint and Excel on the battlefront; innovation in the software field is a necessary advancement for our national security.

Shyam Sankar with a 🌶 take this morning: To improve the incentives to self-disrupt among America's defense industrial base, let defense primes earn higher profits. He argues for primes "rotat[ing] their business model away from cost-plus and toward privately funded (that is, non–government reimbursed) research and development to build up intellectual property and product portfolios that have commercial item pricing." The tradeoff is less revenue, but higher margin, for higher valuation. This is the argument Jeff Decker and I made to a number of primes as we pitched a joint venture studio concept over the last year. Disrupt existing programs by rotating to software, rotating out of services-led growth to margin-led growth. So far it hasn't taken off. Shyam offers three ways the Pentagon can incentivize this change: 1. Encourage intra-Pentagon competition — between program management offices, services, and combatant commands — for industry solutions. 2. Reform Federal Acquisition Regulation Section 15.404-4 to remove capped profits and attract more private capital. 3. Change the way DoD looks at IP -- specifically, the need to own core intellectual property of commercial providers. What do you think about this take? (Link to full article in comments)
