A friendly reminder of the upcoming INCOSE Model-Based Acquisition webinar this Wed, 7/31, from 11-12 ET. Details and registration information below. I hope you can join us! There are many challenges to delivering the next generation of Defense systems. The complexity of systems and the constant evolution of threats requires greater agility than ever before. Budgetary constraints drive the need for predictable delivery and informed decision making, maximizing capability and availability within an affordability envelope. The increasing complexity of the environment will therefore mandate interoperability with other Defense systems and collaboration throughout the supply chain. For many Defense organizations, adopting a Model-Based approach across the acquisition lifecycle has been vital to program success and part of a dramatic transformation in terms of thinking, culture, and ways of working. In this webinar, we’ll show how a Model-Based Acquisition approach enables a step change in capability while assuring value for money and schedule predictability. Andrew Bonica

What is Data Readiness? Reposting and amplifying my comment to highlight two points about CORAS: First, CORAS maps to Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (DON CIO) Information Superiority Vision 2.0 uniquely by securely optimizing a range of bread-and-butter PEO and PM decisions: POM, UFRs, divestments, modernization, data call response, program oversight, S&T portfolio management… This makes current data orders of magnitude more useful for each decisions. Our SmartLane, SmartList, SmartBoard, AI NLP, What If, Driver Trees, and Data Chain features are interconnected in a matrix of value that grows the more you use it. Second, CORAS also creates rich new data, making a new class of decisions available. This includes our AI and ML and applies especially to complex data-to-decision workflows such as mission thread development, Agile Combat Employment, rapid tech insertion, SCRM, and Vanguard investments to cross the “valley of death.” CORAS SaaS does by of these things with a community of amazing and successful customers, and by building on what works already. Standard reporting tools like PowerBI and Qlik become even more useful, as CORAS gives the program workforce more tools to enrich and clarify the picture leaders want to see. Data Readiness is about optimizing data for the decisions you want to make, both bread-and-butter and more advanced stuff. As Justin Fanelli said clearly this week, we are all racing to the Davidson Window (look it up!) and have no time to waste. #LFG
