WEBVTT

00:04.429 --> 00:06.151
This is something that has not

00:06.151 --> 00:08.579
previously been done . We all get to

00:08.579 --> 00:10.869
see our bank account live . Why

00:10.869 --> 00:12.980
shouldn't we be able to see readiness

00:12.980 --> 00:14.980
of our ships live , right ? I think

00:14.980 --> 00:17.202
this is probably my favorite project so

00:17.202 --> 00:19.258
far since I've been here . I've been

00:19.258 --> 00:22.270
here 3 years . When Admiral Franchetti

00:22.270 --> 00:24.214
was confirmed , she mentioned data

00:24.214 --> 00:27.010
analytics , data analysis multiple

00:27.010 --> 00:29.350
times during her testimony . She listed

00:29.350 --> 00:31.406
all these priority areas . If you go

00:31.406 --> 00:33.572
back and watch it , you can see , um ,

00:33.572 --> 00:35.683
she mentions data a lot on using data

00:35.683 --> 00:37.683
analytics to understand the flow to

00:37.683 --> 00:39.906
make our work more efficient , and this

00:39.906 --> 00:42.072
data analytic effort will enable us to

00:42.072 --> 00:44.183
do that . Using data analytics to map

00:44.183 --> 00:46.072
out processes , data analytics to

00:46.072 --> 00:48.128
understand throughput , uh , through

00:48.128 --> 00:49.850
the shipyard so we can be more

00:49.850 --> 00:52.062
effective . So my colleagues at the

00:52.062 --> 00:53.784
Department of the Navy's Chief

00:53.784 --> 00:56.062
Information Office , chief data office ,

00:56.062 --> 00:58.662
now chief data and AI office said let

00:58.662 --> 01:01.583
us pay for sponsor some subject .

01:01.976 --> 01:04.816
experts like the data strike team that

01:04.816 --> 01:07.655
is working this from Ny plan . We are

01:07.655 --> 01:10.096
working to put data analytics at the

01:10.096 --> 01:12.255
forefront of her tenure as Chief of

01:12.255 --> 01:14.096
naval operations by creating a

01:14.096 --> 01:16.096
dashboard that she can look at at a

01:16.096 --> 01:18.615
glance and know multiple metrics that

01:18.615 --> 01:20.782
state the health of the navy . They're

01:20.782 --> 01:22.504
where our different fleets are

01:22.504 --> 01:25.040
stationed . In a combat scenario , you

01:25.040 --> 01:27.639
have to understand how many weapons

01:27.639 --> 01:29.972
were expended from that particular ship .

01:32.349 --> 01:34.516
If that data flow can go directly from

01:34.516 --> 01:36.910
the ship back to headquarters

01:36.910 --> 01:39.190
essentially and then right back out to

01:39.190 --> 01:41.357
industry to replace those or to have a

01:41.357 --> 01:43.357
demand signal to replace those that

01:43.357 --> 01:45.523
helps the war fighters . So instead of

01:45.523 --> 01:47.634
being on that ship and I did 30 years

01:47.634 --> 01:49.634
active duty time so out on a lot of

01:49.634 --> 01:53.339
ships . Having to guess or to

01:53.339 --> 01:56.720
have the supply system , you know , be

01:56.720 --> 01:59.180
responsive to everything . Instead this

01:59.180 --> 02:01.779
gives a more timely update for whether

02:01.779 --> 02:04.900
it's ordinance in this case or

02:04.900 --> 02:07.169
readiness , whatever the case may be ,

02:07.459 --> 02:09.860
having that data better inform the

02:09.860 --> 02:11.693
decisions that are being made by

02:11.693 --> 02:14.300
leaders can only help the war fighter

02:14.300 --> 02:15.522
in those situations .

02:19.369 --> 02:21.536
We envisioned Admiral Franchetti being

02:21.536 --> 02:23.480
able to use this on a weekly basis

02:23.480 --> 02:25.813
heading into meetings with her deputies .

02:25.813 --> 02:27.869
The last couple of years have helped

02:27.869 --> 02:29.591
Admiral Franchetti prepare for

02:29.591 --> 02:31.647
congressional testimony , and during

02:31.647 --> 02:34.559
the preparations , it was clear that

02:35.210 --> 02:36.932
depending on who you asked was

02:36.932 --> 02:39.099
depending on the answer that you got .

02:39.099 --> 02:41.321
Currently the CNO is receiving multiple

02:41.321 --> 02:43.119
reports from multiple Navy

02:43.119 --> 02:45.210
organizations . But some basic

02:45.210 --> 02:49.160
questions were very hard . took days to

02:49.160 --> 02:50.938
get in some cases . They're all

02:50.938 --> 02:52.993
filtering up . A lot of them utilize

02:52.993 --> 02:55.049
either Excel spreadsheets or are put

02:55.049 --> 02:58.119
into PDFs or PowerPoint slides . They

02:58.119 --> 03:00.520
all look fantastic . We are trying to

03:00.520 --> 03:02.789
help automate that process and try to

03:02.789 --> 03:04.900
decide on one authoritative data . So

03:04.900 --> 03:07.250
so that the CNO has a current figure at

03:07.250 --> 03:09.889
all times . As a team where we have

03:09.889 --> 03:12.111
full creative control of the dashboards

03:12.111 --> 03:14.000
so we're making all the different

03:14.000 --> 03:16.333
buttons deciding the color schemes , um ,

03:16.333 --> 03:18.556
deciding what images and what shapes go

03:18.556 --> 03:18.550
in the dashboard also , um , which

03:18.550 --> 03:20.494
graphics to display , what kind of

03:20.494 --> 03:23.119
charts . We also have made this

03:23.119 --> 03:26.050
dashboard a really easy tool to use as

03:26.050 --> 03:28.490
she prepares for her written and verbal

03:28.490 --> 03:30.379
statements , whether it be before

03:30.379 --> 03:32.323
Congress or releasing a new plan .

03:32.539 --> 03:34.595
She'll be able to get an at a glance

03:34.595 --> 03:38.110
that is recording True time . Whatever

03:38.110 --> 03:41.460
metric that falls under the Admiral's 3

03:41.460 --> 03:44.919
priority areas . One of my most

03:44.919 --> 03:47.720
precious resources is my time , and I

03:47.720 --> 03:49.831
really want to be able to walk in and

03:49.831 --> 03:52.160
understand where we are in critical

03:52.160 --> 03:54.216
aspects of the Navy . We can use the

03:54.216 --> 03:56.104
data to do that . I can see those

03:56.104 --> 03:58.216
metrics right away . So CNO has these

03:58.216 --> 03:59.993
priorities . There's 10 of them

03:59.993 --> 04:02.216
currently as she continues , there will

04:02.216 --> 04:04.049
be more obviously . Creating the

04:04.049 --> 04:06.589
dashboard has changed behavior really

04:06.589 --> 04:08.533
across the navy , and people are .

04:08.554 --> 04:11.065
Their own dashboards so they can see

04:11.065 --> 04:13.176
themselves , they can see the data we

04:13.176 --> 04:15.232
can all see the same picture whether

04:15.232 --> 04:17.287
it's myself , the secretary of fleet

04:17.287 --> 04:19.121
commander , we all have the same

04:19.121 --> 04:21.009
information that way we're having

04:21.009 --> 04:23.176
shared understanding and we can create

04:23.176 --> 04:25.343
a common conversation about what it is

04:25.343 --> 04:27.343
we're seeing and what we need to do

04:27.343 --> 04:27.024
about it . So we're looking at this

04:27.024 --> 04:29.424
priority . You can see the last day was

04:29.424 --> 04:32.750
updated . Um , the trend as it's going

04:32.750 --> 04:34.861
and then the indicator that's showing

04:34.861 --> 04:36.972
if it's trending up or down . I think

04:36.972 --> 04:39.260
by enabling this data conversation

04:39.260 --> 04:41.260
we're gonna save time , become more

04:41.260 --> 04:43.482
efficient , and we're gonna become more

04:43.482 --> 04:45.649
lethal because we can use this data to

04:45.649 --> 04:47.950
our advantage every day . I've always

04:47.950 --> 04:49.950
been a big sports guy , baseball in

04:49.950 --> 04:52.660
particular , you always have a sense of

04:53.149 --> 04:55.309
batters versus certain pitchers or

04:55.309 --> 04:57.790
whatever those decisions that a manager

04:57.790 --> 05:01.119
makes , but the data helps . Show

05:01.119 --> 05:03.440
whether that's true or not , right , so

05:03.440 --> 05:05.630
the data doesn't take over . You add

05:05.630 --> 05:09.160
that to the mix of things . It's just a

05:09.160 --> 05:12.640
way to utilize the tools and

05:12.640 --> 05:14.807
capability , digital capability that's

05:14.807 --> 05:17.760
out there in a way that helps leaders

05:17.760 --> 05:19.920
be able to actually make data driven

05:19.920 --> 05:21.920
decisions or at least data informed

05:21.920 --> 05:23.809
decisions . As a data scientist ,

05:23.809 --> 05:25.698
obviously we come across a lot of

05:25.698 --> 05:29.000
numbers . Personally , this project has

05:29.000 --> 05:31.890
been incredibly fulfilling . Because

05:31.890 --> 05:34.940
we're getting to see the impact of the

05:34.940 --> 05:37.260
war fighter behind the number seeing

05:37.260 --> 05:40.019
all the different areas where we are

05:40.019 --> 05:43.019
working to improve conditions for the

05:43.019 --> 05:46.739
war fighter has been a really special .

05:46.859 --> 05:48.915
Opportunity I've been able to lead a

05:48.915 --> 05:51.081
lot of the data engineering stuff , so

05:51.081 --> 05:53.303
that's been fun for me and I think it'd

05:53.303 --> 05:55.415
be a very useful tool for the CNO and

05:55.415 --> 05:55.320
other leadership to use in the future .

05:55.450 --> 05:58.089
The Nyw Atlantic team is amazing , and

05:58.089 --> 06:00.367
I want to say thank you and Bravo Zulu .

06:00.367 --> 06:02.256
Well done to everyone that's been

06:02.256 --> 06:03.700
working on this project .

06:07.940 --> 06:07.950
Yeah
