Standing Up A Space Force Business Analytics Capabilities
As the Department of Defense’s newest branch, the Space Force is being digitally transformed through innovation and data-driven decisions. Business Analytics plays a key role in this effort and over the course of the last year, we have started small, scaled fast, and failed fast. Although the DoD is not a commercial entity, we face similar obstacles such as changing the culture, data stovepipes, and platform challenges that are common among digital transformation participants. The focus of this presentation is to share some of the developed processes, methods, and lessons learned along the way.
