What a CTO Does (at least this one)
Mission:
The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has been assigned the
responsibility for defining the overall technical strategies for
the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). These
strategies are the basis for the development, sustainment,
and operations of critical net-centric products and services
provided by DISA.
The CTO provides technical review and oversight of DISA’s
efforts to ensure they are in accordance with established
strategies and executed using sound system engineering
techniques.

The Future IT a Warfigther Wants
• Highly connected - "I need access information rapidly and with necessary fidelity."
• Extremely mobile - "I need the same access to information regardless of where I am."
• Very secure & trustable - "I need to know who I am talking to (IFF) and to be convinced
that the information sent is received without being altered."
• Reliable and dependable - "The enterprise just needs to work."
• Collaborative - "I need to be able to reach out and touch anyone, including industry
partners and allies, at anytime using e-mail, text, audio, video and planning tools."
• Information consumer - "I need access to meaningful information."
• Information provider - "I need to be able to provide meaningful information to others."
• Time and space presence - "If I choose, the network needs to know where I am so I
can get focused information to meet my mission needs and so I can provide information
to others based on my geolocation."
Warfighter/User Expectations
“I can get my stuff and interact with who I want.”

Innovation
“Innovation has nothing to do with how
many R&D dollars you have. When
Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was
spending at least 100 times more on
R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the
people you have, how you’re led, and
how much you get it.” Steve Jobs
