The nation’s critical industrial base must be revitalized if we are to continue our unparalleled military advantage. Perhaps no one knows this better than our veterans, who deployed on the ships, submarines, and aircraft built and maintained by these critical partners in industry. Your career in uniform will come to an end, but your service and commitment doesn’t have to. Reinvest the earnings of your service back into the nation’s defense and improve the next generation of platforms as you improved our military for the next generation who will man those platforms.

Excellent presentation from Robert Fookes on the US Air Force Material Command's journey in Digital Materiel Management (DMM). If I had to guess what this Digital Engineering conference will be called in 2 years' time, I reckon DMM is a pretty safe bet. Looking forward to reading the associated white paper. #integratedlogisticsupport #ils #integratedproductsupport #ips #logisticsupportanalysis #lsa #productsupportanalysis #psa #weaponsystemsustainment #sustainment #supportengineering #digitaljourney

We are humbled to be recognized on the #Vet100 list as the 30th fastest growing veteran-owned business. This honor is awarded by the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF in conjunction with Inc. Magazine - Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies where Top Line Growth Partners ranked #290 overall.      For more information, read our latest press release: https://lnkd.in/ekQSK_U5   #Vet100  #Inc5000 #managementconsulting #executivesearch #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #hrconsulting #salesconsulting  

This is an exciting honor for Top Line! It's also one that highlights just how much exceptional talent our veterans bring to the workforce as employees and entrepreneurs. The numbers speak for themselves! Top Line was recognized as # 290 on the 2023 Inc 5000 list that includes all high growth private companies (top 6% of that peer group). When that same list is trimmed to the #VET100 to rank the top 100 veteran owned businesses, we finished at # 30 (only top 30% in that peer group). But I shouldn't be surprised! The leadership, courage, accountability and results focus learned in the military are all highly valued traits that translate well to entrepreneurial or corporate success. You can see this on display in the high concentration of veteran owned businesses at the top of the Inc 5000.

As a Fleet Seminar Student at the U.S. Naval War College, I learned how military theory and practice can be applied to non-operational defense business and even the corporate world. While I don't expect CEOs to become experts in Clausewitz, understanding the concept of avoiding analysis paralysis and the importance of Mission Command Leadership can greatly benefit an organization. If we embrace the idea of failing forward with the best information available at the time and avoid being too harsh with after action decision making, we can collectively improve faster and stronger together. Working in the #telco industry, I found LTC Brian Forester's analysis on signal to noise ratio to be very applicable. Commanders and staffs must think clearly about both signal and noise, and communicate the uncertainty associated with an estimated outcome to their commanders. It's important to resist the temptation to overcorrect when the observed outcome doesn't align with algorithm predictions. Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gJcsTTqz

Military service cultivates a wealth of diverse experiences and transferable talents that manufacturers are just crying out for! In the latest episode of Manufacturing Happy Hour, we sat down with Retired LtCol, USAF, Kathy Lowrey Gallowitz, who tells us why we need more veterans in manufacturing and how to ensure your organization is veteran-ready!
