In other data news, on January 5th, Federal News Network published an interesting article entitled, DoD CDO sees leadership shakeup as agency doubling down on data goals. In this article, Jory Heckman describes how DoD’s Chief Data Officer David Spirk, who was speaking last Wednesday at a virtual roundtable hosted by George Washington University’s Project for Media and National Security, said DoD is putting real-time data in the hands of senior leadership at the Pentagon to make critical decisions more quickly and stay on top of global threats.
- Spirk said the department’s real-time data analytics capabilities are already transforming how its senior leadership makes personnel and readiness decisions. “If you don’t organize your data, if you can’t create repeatable, testable and trusted data workflows from the tactical edge all the way up to your senior-most decision-making boardroom activities, then you will just lag behind,” Spirk said. “We’ve seen this in industry, it’s really no different in the strategic competition with other nation-states who have an ability to harness their data, and can access the compute required to actually do something with it.”
