Title: Air Force Transformation
and Technology - A Systems Challenge
Speaker: General Lester Lyles
The
Department of Defense (DoD),
and especially the U.S. Air
Force, have always touted the
value and necessity of science
and technology to accomplish
our national security mission.
This necessity was particularly
a hallmark of the DoD's "transformation"
objectives.
However,
the strain of budget emphases
to fight the "war on terrorism,"
and the problem of maintaining
a strong, talented technical
workforce in DoD have made staying
abreast of science and technology
and engineering a major challenge!
There are numerous initiatives
within the Services and DoD
to address these challenges.
This presentation will focus
on the challenges and the initiatives
to address them.

As
witnessed in the aftermath of
Katrina, businesses are more
vulnerable than ever to sudden
disruptions such as natural
disasters, terrorist attacks,
supplier failures and labor
actions. Dr. Sheffi - an expert
in supply chain disruption -
has spent years studying companies
that survived disaster, as well
as those that faltered. Based
on this research, Dr. Sheffi
has written "The Resilient
Enterprise," in which he
explains how organizations can
prepare for the unexpected.
The
