Technology & Innovation
This paper challenges traditional military thinking by advocating the need for a multi-paradigmatic perspective, embracing complexity, and recognising the inevitability of failure in the non-linear process of military innovation.
The paper examines military acquisition processes and articulates how managers could embody a strategic risk management mindset to ensure acquisition risks are managed for rapid delivery of minimum viable capabilities.
This paper discusses: (1) how militaries preserve past practices at the expense of innovation; and (2) the need to shift military culture that values imagination over adherence to outdated norms.
