Exploring military insight in the boardroom.

RAND researchers Cynthia Cook and William Shelton joined me on the Acquisition Talk podcast to discuss their new paper which takes a fresh look at the space acquisition enterprise. Not only is the US Space Force much smaller than its sister services (just 16,000 compared more than 10x that number in the Marines), it is also much more reliant on technology. They argue that the nation's newest military service has a huge opportunity to shape a more agile process and flatter organization. This includes: - Creating a culture of "warrior engineers" - Embracing funding flexibility and portfolio management - Empowering a single space acquisition decisionmaker - Coordinating enterprise architectures and capability roadmaps - Increasing cross-pollination between government and industry In the episode, Cynthia and Bill emphasize the need for the Space Force to think differently about program management. Often, managers are incentivized to deliver on their baseline program instead of taking responsibility for broader integration issues. For example, the GPS capability set was broken out into separate programs for space vehicle, ground, user equipment, and launch, causing synchronization issues. Bill explained how "As a program manager, I had the iron triangle. Don't mess with my cost-schedule-performance. Anybody comes with a new idea, if it's going to make me slip or cost money, thanks for your interest in national defense but I'm going to do what I got to do to meet my APB." Changing this system of incentives requires a different personnel structure, system of promotion, dedicated contracting officers, and methods of accountability. This is particularly true as space systems rely more on commercial, proliferation, and "good enough" solutions rather than exquisite systems that take more than a decade to field.

Le Concours Corneille s'enorgueillit de réunir certains des meilleurs jeunes chanteurs de la planète (ils n'ont pas tort) et de les confronter à un jury impressionnant. Nous avons assisté à l'épreuve finale, censément baroque, dans la Chapelle Corneille sise à Rouen, avec rien de moins que Le Poème Harmonique sur scène. Vincent Dumestre, son fondateur, n'était pas sur le podium pour la bonne et simple raison qu'il siégeait à la table du jury.  Peu après l'épreuve finale, dans l'attente des résultats, nous nous sommes promenés dans les coulisses à la recherche des candidats. Voici quatre brefs portraits de jeunes chanteurs, surpris alors qu'ils attendaient que le destin se décide – ou non – à leur ceindre la tête de lauriers. Les voici par ordre d'apparition au micro : Camilo Delgado Diaz (ténor), Shira Patchornik (soprano), William Shelton (contre-ténor) et Johanna Rosa Falkinger. Les entretiens ont été réalisés en anglais et en français.  Voici le communique de presse annonçant les résultats : Après une mémorable finale cet après-midi à la Chapelle Corneille de Rouen, le jury du Concours Corneille, présidé par Andreas Scholl, a choisi de de remettre le Premier Prix à la soprano israélienne Shira Patchornik et le Deuxième Prix à la soprano autrichienne Johanna Rosa Falkinger. Le Prix du Public, décerné par les spectateurs du Concours Corneille, et le Prix de l'association Jeunes Talents ont été décernés au contre-ténor franco-britannique William Shelton.

In 1920, Emory theology professor William Shelton bought antiquities from Palestine and Egypt and brought them back to Emory to use as teaching tools. Among them was a mummy who lived around 2000 B.C. He is the oldest Egyptian mummy in the Western Hemisphere.
