In an Air Force that often laments the only constant is change, unprecedented encouragement from senior leaders to innovate is dissolving this phrase s negative connotation and driving Airmen at all levels to enact positive change within their organizations.
Innovators from across the Minuteman III enterprise have embraced Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr.’s strategic imperative to “accelerate change or lose,” adopting a rapid, collaborative approach to implementing innovation.
The Innovation Team aspires to serve as a model for system program offices and warfighter partnerships across the Air Force. In March, the team launched a joint Airmen Powered by Innovation (API) campaign to solicit innovative ideas from weapon system operators, maintainers and defenders, to name a few. The campaign is open to submissions from DoD employees and contractors through Dec. 31, 2021.
