Big fan of NIOC Yoko and the current leadership team. That said, this articulates investments made and hollow metrics...objective remains operational outcomes and value delivered. Likely not the place to articulate, but these words say little (though maybe by design). Inviting a dialogue, not a debate...
I hate metrics and our obsession with them. We need to capture the "so what" vice silly numbers...
What is a 150% performance increase?
Sean Heritage,
You definitely got the buzz words patt, You might need to work on the rest. What you wrote actually hurt my brain.
Thanks for feedback, HMS Defiant. I remain a work in progress with many areas in which I am pursuing improvement. And yes, my comment could have written a little more clearly, but I am willing to bet that you understood my point. That said, I am pleased to know I may have been able to help you stretch your brain a little.
This post reads like an award or eval, likely to keep it unclassified. Obvious perhaps but I wonder what the intent is. Maybe the provocation of thought and dialogue. Or just to spread the information to those who otherwise might not be informed (perhaps swamped and disconnected completing a 1/1 tour) but have enough knowledge to fill in some of the blanks. I can think of a few things that DSO and IT1 might be doing, but without having read the post I wouldn't have even known they were out there. I got here because I was reading the VADM Branch response and the words NIOC Yoko off to the side of the page grabbed my attention.
