WASHINGTON \u2014 A newly developed dashboard is feeding the U.S. Department of Defense data-driven insights on its own activities, including implementation of the National Defense Strategy and other critical endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analytics program, known as Pulse, was created by the department\u2019s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office<\/a>, led by Craig Martell, in collaboration with the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, headed by Colin Kahl, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its purpose, officials told Defense News, is to provide senior defense leaders with a rigorous, standardized look at how things are going: Are the defense secretary\u2019s priorities being fulfilled, and are other performance metrics across the department being met?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense Undersecretary Kathleen Hicks teased the dashboard \u2014 which takes advantage of Advana, the department\u2019s premier big-data visualization platform that scours hundreds of business systems \u2014 at a Jan. 31 launch for the Defense Management Institute<\/a>, an independent entity that will pool experts and research for Defense Department improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
