Top Officials Explain New Acquisition Paradigm
In an exclusive piece shared with Breaking Defense, four top Pentagon acquisition officials explain the new acquisition paradigm, where accountability equals ownership and speed wins wars. The officials argue that the traditional approach to acquisition has driven talented individuals away and incentivized strict adherence to process over innovation. The new system, they claim, empowers program managers with decision-making authority and encourages them to take calculated risks to deliver capabilities quickly. This shift was first reported by Breaking Defense.
