About this Talk

Much of the innovation discourse in defense today focuses on how to buy things faster or apply tech-based solutions to wicked problems. But how do we ensure our cognitive operating system--our most important asset--is primed to address the uncertainty of the future? Dr. Sotiriadis will address the Air Force's approach to strategic foresight and how we can build a national security workforce of futurist thinkers.
