The Future of Defense Management Reform Symposium
Hosted by IDA
Every recent Secretary of Defense has sought to streamline and improve the management of the Department of Defense. Some reform efforts have been more successful than others, but the consensus is that the Pentagon remains trapped by outdated systems and a culture that make it almost impervious to streamlining and innovation.
On September 21, 2021, IDA hosted a symposium on defense management reform that focused on steps that could be taken to make the Department of Defense work better and cost less. Join the experts for a discussion about the future of defense acquisition reform, civilian personnel reform, and financial management reform.
The Case for Defense Management Reform
[The Department of Defense will] move forward on reform to our business operations. This is not just about finding and reapplying savings to higher priorities, it is about improving organizational performance and efficiency. The best advocates for reform are those closest to the issues, so we will hold leaders appropriately accountable for a management improvement agenda within their respective components.
