Bubbl'n up from the Cheap Seats, on Midrats

Is there such a thing as Military Intellectual Entrepreneurialism?

Large, sated, and complacent organization do not have a good track record of survival. Organizations of any size that nurture the mentality of small, hungry, and driven by creative destruction and friction based on competing ideas - that is the path to success. Always has been, always will be.

How do we get that attitude to permeate the military? How do we harness the power of an entrepreneurial mindset to build a better national security and defense structure?

As we just start to enter another period of resource limitation in the face of an ever changing international security landscape - do we take advantage of the need for change, or do we buckle under our own moss-covered and hide-bound habits?

Join us today, Sunday 08 SEP from 5-6pm Eastern, to discuss this concept for the full hour, as well as the upcoming Defense Entrepreneurs Forum 12-14 OCT, with our panel:
