  2. Concept • A forum for select Navy leadership to discover, discuss, define and communicate the opportunities and challenges facing the Sea Enterprise. • Incubate innovation - cannot compete on cost alone • Inspired by Georgia Tech’s internationally recognized, award winning ATDC incubator model where its member enterprises benefit from its core offerings of: • Consulting • Connections • Community • Center

  4. Analogy • Ice Breaker • path of least resistance • paves the way for more exhaustive research • Ice breaker ship creates wide passages through ice sheets to allow for uninterrupted activity…equipped with strong propellers, steel bodies, forceful engines, sensitive navigation tools…used in scientific research…expeditions…keep trade routes operational… www.wisegeek.com • An ordinary ship with no strengthening will not risk touching ice at all, no matter how gently… www.coolantartica.com • Navy Ice Breakers - Atka, Edisto, Glacier www.history.navy.mil

  5. Concept Brainstorming • During Group Gatherings, provide: • A general forum • Break-out sessions • External site visits (Toyota, Gulfstream, NASCAR, Navy sites…) • Guest speakers (CNO, leaders in innovation/transformation…) • Guest Participants for focused areas at feasibility exploration • MLIC Partners, GTRI, SBIR, TLI, GT Faculty, • Navy Supply Corps School, Naval Postgraduate School • Appreciative inquiry, Benchmarking • Training on an as needed basis • Time for the leader to: • think, be creative • Plan and pay attention to impact/implications of efforts (good and bad) • A forum where: • restrictions on ideas are limited to none • there is a trusted environment • open and frank dialogue • Facilitation: • created by an external source • ask the “silly questions”, • ask the “obvious but avoided questions” • communicate feedback without repercussion. • Create an environment where the impossible can be heard and possibly addressed • Cross-functional – Value streams across commands • Possible Group Ground Rules: • No substitutes • Code of silence • Everyone has a chance to speak • Must participate in at least # of the # meetings

  6. Expected Outcomes • Stronger Sea Enterprise • Innovative leadership • Innovative ideas and concepts • Emerging technologies and processes • Improved communication • More agile, adaptive enterprise – opportunity identification, prioritization, planning and transformation • Others?
