SAMPE LA / Orange County Joint Meeting Notice

Thurs., Feb. 23th, 2017 at 6 p.m.

Impact Of The Organizational Structure And Decision Making
Processes On Data Management And Technology Insertion.


with

Doug Decker - Technical Fellow
Northrup Grumman Corp., El Segundo, CA

ABSTRACT

Over the last 35 years of his career in aerospace, Mr. Decker has been fascinated with the things that both advance and hold back the insertion of new technologies into an industry. Many times it has little to do with the value of the actual, innovative technology but more to do with the organizational structure both within the company and within the Customer's organizations.

His talk is titled "Impact Of The Organizational Structure And Decision Making Processes On Data Management And Technology Insertion." This presentation was given last year at SAMPE Paris and seeks to find an engaging way of understanding some of the most critical factors associated with successful technology insertion.

If you want to find out how the following seemingly unrelated items are linked...please attend.

  • The 1969 Lunar Landing
  • The Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building, World Trade Center and The Freedom Tower
