Captain Scott Tait served as Commanding Officer of the USS Zumwalt from 2016 to November 2018. During his tour, the ship transitioned from a pre-commissioned unit at the building yard in Bath, Maine to an operational ship in the Pacific Fleet.
Zumwalt is arguably the most technologically ambitious project undertaken by any Navy since HMS Dreadnought was launched by the British in 1906. The ship incorporates a host of new capabilities, operating concepts and a drastically reduced manpower model. Its radical and innovative design introduced significant tension with the Navy’s existing framework of training, certifying, organizing and operating. The ship’s cutting edge cyber systems and unique, enduring relationship with industry placed it in the cross-hairs of the emerging great power competition with China and Russia.
Please join us in Valencia, CA, on Thursday, January 16, 7:30am–9:00am (breakfast and networking at 7:00am), when Captain Tait, U.S. Navy (Ret), will provide a brief overview of the Zumwalt’s background and capabilities, then discuss lessons in leadership and management that are relevant for the business world’s evolving competitive environment.
The tools and insights that helped him succeed should be of benefit to anybody leading a fast moving, tech-centric organization in today’s dynamic business world.
The meeting is free for all. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adfscvjan20.eventbrite.com. Registration is required by 7:30am on January 15 so we can get you the required parking pass.
