In this episode Daniel Hoogendoorn hosts a discussion with Trent Hone, author of Learning War, engaging with ideas and stories about innovation and learning from his book. Trent Hone is a Fellow with Excella in Arlington, VA, and an award-winning naval historian. His work is fueled by an interest in organizational learning and operational effectiveness. He consults with organizations to improve their art of practice, accelerate learning, and innovate more effectively. Mr. Hone regularly writes and speaks about organizational learning, strategy, and innovation. He co-authored Battle Line: The United States Navy, 1919-1939. His article, “U.S. Navy Surface Battle Doctrine and Victory in the Pacific” was awarded the U.S. Naval War College's Edward S. Miller Prize and the Naval History and Heritage Command's Ernest M. Eller Prize. His essay, “Guadalcanal Proved Experimentation Works” earned second place in the 2017 Chief of Naval Operations Naval History Essay Contest. Mr. Hone's latest book, Learning War: The Evolution of Fighting Doctrine in the U.S. Navy, 1898–1945, brings a new and valuable perspective that explains how the Navy became a learning organization before World War II and harnessed learning mechanisms to accelerate victory during that conflict. It was the U.S. Naval Institute's Book of the Year for 2018 and is part of the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program.
“The contractor role in Houston was not very firm. Frankly, they didn’t want us. There were two things against us down there. Number one, it was a Headquarters contract, and it was decreed that the Space Centers shall use GE for certain things; and number two they considered us (meaning GE) to be Headquarters spies.” Edward S. Miller of General Electric.
