Key Focus

  • I've got to say, the WERX idea that Secretary Geurts came up with, that was his idea on the back of a napkin, I saw the original napkin, it was super-cool.
    Acceleration, how can we break things positively and move faster.
    How can we easily identify and write size policy and regulation in areas that are over-regulated.
    How can we provide a safe space to test out emerging technology, to understand the risks and the opportunities.
    How can we also provide a public space that allows us to bring in that deep expertise that we normally can't access in the government; hackers, makers, academics, scientists, and at the same time also explore agile acquisitions.
    So, here is this really cool model that creates a friendly front door to the US Government, for start-ups, for small businesses, individual innovators, and non-traditional, to all come in as they are and contribute
  • We really wanted to dive-in and set the stage early so that we're not making dangerous mistakes, and that as we're moving more and more into these technology influenced environments, we could decide, hey this is a risk, this is a potential opportunity, and here's how we balance those out smartly.
    And by getting ahead of it and understanding what these different technologies we're bringing to bear, and how they were changing not just one sector, but sometimes multiple sectors all at once, very fast, was a key insight that came out of this research
  • And so, I was intrigued.
    That's when for the first time I met Secretary Honor Geurts, Jim Geurts, he was the acquisition executive at the time, and when I got down there I did my presentation, I talked about all the technologies, and afterward, he said, "You know, you should think about coming down here", and I said I'm interested in it
  • But if they failed that's also great, because then you could go back and talk to the customer, that happened to be a Seal Team, or a Special Forces Team, or AFSOC Special Tactics team, you could go in and say, "Hey, this technology didn't work, and it won't ever work because it's just not a good fit", or, "It will work, but we need to wait 12 to 18 months for it to mature, because this is what's coming", or, "It will work if we pair it up with these existing technologies now, and we can get it to you in the next 7 days", or it already works
