Mike Bloomberg, as Chairman of the Defense Innovation Board, in an Op-Ed about stimulating DoD innovation, calls for greater public-private partnerships and "clearing away the bureaucratic roadblocks" to enabling them. His ideas, though, seem out of step with his own experience as an entrepreneur. Bloomberg's short recommendations for greater innovation include DoD taking more control of intellectual property and limiting profits of the big primes while "forcing" greater competition. I wonder if Bloomberg himself would have been able to build his company, Bloomberg, to such success if as a startup his customer had artificially restricted profits and taken control of his IP. Is this what we want from Defense Innovation Board? Couldn't we find a more dynamic and relevant entrepreneur (who has actually been to Silicon Valley this century) to lead this important organization for DoD? #defenseindustry #defensetech #defenseinnovation https://lnkd.in/dhTZrEdM
