Closing Statement

The range of topics and perspectives presented by the speakers clearly demonstrate the breadth of possible areas of focus, and the need for a workshop to precede the committee’s larger forthcoming study. The problem the speakers have described is “wickedly” complex, with many moving parts, competing objectives, and restraints. The workshop’s greatest impact on the subsequent study has been to redirect the focus of the study from experimentation itself toward the implementation of experimentation campaigns in the Air Force.

The committee is grateful to each of the presenters for their time and their expertise in helping the committee understand the nature of the problem it is to address in its study.

The Workshop on the Role of Experimentation Campaigns in the Innovation Cycle was held in January 2016 to define and assess the current use of experimentation campaigns within the Air Force, evaluate barriers to their use, and make recommendations to increase their use. Participants at the workshop presented a broad range of issues, experiences, and insights related to experimentation, experimentation campaigns, and innovation. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
