- 2. Phillip Andrews 2 Best Speaker Of This Symposium Gordon England who served as the 29th Deputy Secretary of Defense from January 2006 to February 2009. He previously served as the 72nd and 73rd Secretary of the Navy and as the first Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
- 3. Some Key Points • Most panel discussions were focused on these 4 subjects: • Space Force – challenges, transformation, and urgency • We are facing another Sputnik Moment • Satellites will be the next big target for global disruption • Cybersecurity – is one of the 8 undeclared wars • China does NOT have to defeat it us militarily • It is already a very ugly war and it’s getting worse with every month that goes by • Education – we are falling behind key global powers • US had no focus and no sense of urgency. US is ranked 26th in Education • Government Bureaucracy – handicapping progress, especially innovation • DoD was started in 1947. Its processes have not been much improved since then • Our bureaucracy is setting us behind China that has very little bureaucracy; 2-year gap • Our Cultures of Compliance and Solidarity pose another major problem in innovation Phillip Andrews 3
- 5. Interesting Points That Practically All Speakers Mentioned All Day Long: • China is getting ahead of us in engineering, innovation, AI, missiles, several industries, cybersecurity, education, and many other key areas • At the same time the US is increasing its infighting, government bureaucracy, polarization … and stress • It is Sputnik Time all over again. But is the US capable to win this new Cold War with China? • Can we refocus our interests, aspirations, and motivations? Focusing internally is always bad, as there are many aspects that people will find wrong with everything. Phillip Andrews 5
- 6. Some Key Points (cont’d) • Technology introductions have their own pace. The problem for most organizations is that they cannot keep up with the fast pace. Major problems: 1) Lack of properly educated personnel, and 2) Lack of good leaders (that understand the value of new technologies and are willing to take calculated risks) • “One must do things at the pace of relevance” • Learning how to deal with failure is a must (see slide 22, top 2 bullets) • Need to expand STEM education to cover space-related topics. Many young students want to learn more about space and join Space Force • Digital Engineering is an emerging profession • The Chinese “produce” more engineers every year than all of US, EU, and Japan combined Phillip Andrews 6
- 8. Important Comment • Digital Transformation is the same as Transformation Management with emphasis put on Paradigm Shifts that are triggered by the introduction of Digital Technologies and the hastening of the Digital Age. • Digital Transformation (DTX) is the adoption of Digital Technologies by companies, government agencies and departments, military branches, or other organizations. Common goals for DTX implementation are to improve effectiveness, total value, innovation, speed, agility, responsiveness, “customer” enthusiasm, etc. In other words, all aspects of an organization are improved through Digitization, Digitalization, and DTX. Phillip Andrews 8
- 9. Phillip Andrews 9 Sample of Paradigm Shifts Key paradigms are focused on eight areas: 1. Competitive Advantage (leveraging key technologies to disrupt business models, product offerings … and entire industries) 2. Data Revolution (learning how to leverage data and even make them a strategic asset) 3. Customer Experience (elevating it to the level of total delight and enthusiasm) 4. Collaboration with competitors, partners, and customers (building the right Business, Innovation, and Knowledge Ecosystems) 5. Value Volatility (ability to deal with ever-changing customer needs, wants, and preferences that affect the enterprise’s Value Proposition) 6. Employee Empowerment (affording employees more autonomy and control) 7. Operational Excellence (optimizing operations and ecosystems) 8. Continuous Innovation (it’s everyone’s “job”)
- 10. Phillip Andrews 10 Sample Areas of DTX Focus One must analyze every organization, department or function, every system and app, every device, every process … well, everything. DTX is the same as reengineering the entire enterprise or organization!
- 13. Key Comments About Digital Transformation • Business Ecosystems are essential to thriving for both private enterprises and the military • Coalition Partners are essential to the success of an enterprise • Economic and National security are interconnected. Collaboration is a must • Speed of 360° communication matters • Defeat bureaucracy (B=MG² Bureaucracy = Mass of Governement²) • Delayering government organizations is smart (how about military orgs?) • Performing BPR (Business Process Reengineering) is also smart • Defeat the “Innovation Theater” (replace it with Real Innovation); “get to innovation at the time of innovation” (see next 3 slides) Phillip Andrews 13
- 14. Phillip Andrews 14 Most corporations went from 17 layers of management down to 7! Is it time for the Armed Forces to delayer? Delayering is associated with creating flatter organizational structures. The main objectives of delayering are to reduce costs, improve communication and encourage better and quicker decision-making. Delayering improves agility and responsiveness! This structure promotes obedience, conformity, and solidarity. All of them are major inhibitors to innovation.
- 15. Phillip Andrews 15 Old Wisdom What is the “Candlestick”, you ask? Well, it’s new ways of doing business, emerging technologies, new manufacturing tools and techniques, new industry paradigms! If one fails to jump high enough or long enough, then one may get burned by the fire (= Game Over)! Phillip Andrews Can one be both strong and nimble? YES! That’s the essence of DTX!
- 16. What To Innovate • The Business Model, Business Plan • Product and Service Portfolios • Business Structure • Business Culture • Business Infrastructure (especially Business Processes) • Technical Infrastructure • Business Ecosystems • Business Relationships • Ways of Doing Business (Work Patterns, Habits, “The New Normal”, etc.) Phillip Andrews 16

- 18. Phillip Andrews 18 Adaptation leads to Agility. Agility leads to Resilience and Sustainability! Key at being great at Adaptation and Agility:
- 19. Explaining The Digital Transformation • Standalone Enterprises ➔ Business Ecosystems (Global Coalitions) • Supply and Value Chains ➔ Business Ecosystems • Standalone Ecosystem ➔ Integrated (Business, Innovation, Knowledge) Ecosystem • Casting a wide network because size matters • Business ecosystems should be viewed as strategic assets • Stable Biz Model and Strategies ➔ Ever-changing Biz Model and Strategies • Open or Delayed Feedback Loops ➔ Closed Feedback Loops • Delayed Responses ➔ Real Time Responses • No Digital Thread ➔ Digital Thread (see next 3 slides) Phillip Andrews 19
- 20. Phillip Andrews 20 Definition: The Digital Thread is the communication framework that links all information that belongs to a product (from inception to delivery). It ultimately enables manufacturers to re-purpose, reuse and trace product information throughout the product lifecycle and value chain.
- 21. Phillip Andrews 21 Connections to the rest of the ecosystem partners. Customers Reminder: The Digital Thread does NOT stop at the four walls of the enterprise! IIoT and IoT connect the enterprise with the rest of the world!
- 22. Phillip Andrews 22 The Digital Twin represents an asset that includes its metadata – design and models. The 3D model helps one understand how they digital model will and can act in real-world scenarios. In other words, Digital Twins make it possible to simulate the behavior of one’s physical assets, whether it be a car, airplane, organization, or manufacturing plant. The Digital Twin in essence, is a computer program that uses real world data to create simulations that can predict how a product or processes will perform. These programs can integrate IoT, Big Data, Cloud Computing, AI, and Advanced Analytics to enhance the output. The Digital Twin’s primary purpose is to give one a better insight into the overall system and how it performs in real time. One cannot have a Digital Twin without the digital thread. And while Digital Twins' impact will reflect the digital representation of a real object or asset, the Digital Twin’s real-world scenario information is communicated to one’s systems via the Digital Thread, the link to interoperability.
- 23. Explaining The Digital Transformation • Focus on Efficiency ➔ Focus on Effectiveness • Focus on Specialization ➔ Focus on the Big Picture (Holistic Thinking) • Unshared Data ➔ Shared Data within the Enterprise ➔ Shared Data across the Business Ecosystem • Shared vision; shared goals & objectives; shared culture; shared success; shared risks; shared incentives and rewards; shared awareness; shared responses … • Silo Mentality ➔ Integrated/Connected Mentality • Enterprise Silos and Military Stovepipes ➔ Integrated Cross-Functional Organization (Cross-Silo Leadership); Helix Organization • Individual Defense against adversaries ➔ Collective Defense Phillip Andrews 23
- 24. Explaining The Digital Transformation • Do NOT Fail Mentality ➔ Fail Fast and Pivot (to something better) • Limited Agility ➔ Great Agility (Agility/Dexterity enables fast pivoting) • Reactive Mentality ➔ Proactive Mentality ➔ Predictive Mentality • Sporadic Monitoring ➔ Continuous Monitoring ➔ Continuous Management • Must have the right bells, alarms, and “trip wires” • Limited Supply Chain Visibility ➔ Clear and Continuous Visibility • Cybersecurity as a Nice-To-Have ➔ Cybersecurity as a Must-Have • Continuous and Shared Cybersecurity as the latest strategic asset • “Measure twice, cut once” ➔ “Measure once, cut once” Phillip Andrews 24
- 26. Key Point • As one can plainly see, 4IR is NOT about technologies alone. Technologies are key enablers for transforming all aspects of enterprises. Technologies are NOT the end-all! • Consider this: If every enterprise is implementing 5G, IoT, and VR, then what is the competitive advantage? • Does any enterprise can claim that they have a competitive advantage because they have electricity? • The challenge is what one does after adopting key technologies; how one leverages them! • That is your challenge for you as employees for LMA! Phillip Andrews 26
- 27. So, where does Industry 4.0 fit in all the previous comments? Phillip Andrews 27
- 29. Phillip Andrews 29 All the previous comments are describing different aspects of:
- 30. Digital Transformation Affects: • Business Models • Strategic Plans • Organizational Structures • Styles of Leadership • Corporate Cultures • Business Processes • Technical Infrastructure • Relationships/Connections … Phillip Andrews 30 “Industry” means all industries (in all sectors) (see next slide)
- 31. Phillip Andrews 31 •Primary Sector. The primary sector includes industries that utilize the natural resources of the environment like forestry, agriculture, fishing, and mining. ... •Secondary Sector. This sector includes the economic activities that revolve around adding value to the natural resources by transforming the various raw materials into usable and valuable products. This is done via several processing, manufacturing, and construction industries .... •Tertiary industry. Not all “experts” agree on the number of sectors and the number of industries in each sector. This is just one of the most popular views showing that there are 24 industries in the Industrial Sector. Your company is unique because you are in 3 (or more) different industries!
