I'm BGen Chris Ayotte, Chief of staff Army Strategy and I'm here to take the 60 Seconds Challenge.

"What is army digitalization?"
Army digitalization or digital transformation is like any other transformation. It's really about overhauling structures, processes, culture and mind set. And in this particular situation, it's really focused on digital aspects."If you could time travel to any era, which would you choose?"
I'd go a hundred years in the future to see how digital transformation unfolds and how we tackled the reality of these emerging technologies."What is the biggest obstacle to true digital transformation in the Army?" Like any transformation, it's all about culture. Until people truly buy-in and embrace the need to transform, you're never gonna get your objectives.
