Collaboration.AiWith our partners at Collaboration.Ai, we designed, facilitated, and produced the OASW SO/LIC Accelerator Event, convening nearly 200 government leaders, policy makers, solution providers, and media personnel. The event focused on a fundamental shift in defense acquisition: accelerating how cutting-edge technology moves from concept to the tactical edge. By breaking down traditional silos and bringing operators, acquisition professionals, tech innovators, and senior leaders into the same room, the day demonstrated agility in action—utilizing unique authorities and smaller force structures to move fast, accept smart risks, and serve as an enterprise pathfinder scaling proven capabilities across all service branches. The event was a masterful exercise in public-private dialogue, leaving the day with real outcomes, immediate speed-to-contracting, and tangible commitments.
