2018 Navy Forum | Potomac Officers Club
WHAT
Join the Potomac Officers Club to hear from public and private sector leaders about how the U.S. Navy is promoting a more agile acquisitions process. Notably, the service branch has been decentralizing decision-making of smaller acquisition programs to program executive and managers. This has led to a differentiation in process which, when coupled with the rise of digitization at the research and development phase, will lead to increased efficiencies for both the Navy and industry.
