Cultivating a Cohesive Workforce in a Global Landscape (Ep. 27)
In this episode of Technically Speaking, hosts Chelsie and Alex step beyond technology to explore the culture and command climate that drive innovation at NIWC Atlantic. They are joined by Captain Matthew O’Neal, NIWC Atlantic Commanding Officer and Dr. Scott Dreyer, NIWC Atlantic Executive Coach for an in-depth conversation on how a collaborative, mission-focused mindset shapes both the workforce and the technology developed for the warfighter.
Captain O’Neal uses his experience with rigorous systems engineering and repeatable, agile processes to explain how the organization’s culture supports high reliability and readiness, even in the face of significant global challenges. He also highlights award-winning innovations, such as the rollout of the Flank Speed enterprise and the Nautilus Virtual Desktop, which have boosted productivity and mobility across the Navy.
Dr. Scott Dreyer dives into the power of digital tools in overcoming geographic separation. He shares how platforms like Microsoft 365, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams have enabled seamless collaboration and communication among dispersed teams, while also stressing the importance of “boundary spanners” who help connect various parts of the organization.
Later in the episode, ET1 Johnathan Shelton joins the conversation in the Military Moment segment, offering insights into his multifaceted role supporting communications and IT.
Tune in to learn how NIWC Atlantic’s commitment to a culture of excellence is fueling innovation and enhancing the warfighter’s capabilities.
