The Great Conversation: The Integrator's Dilemma

Developing a proof point

Systematizing roles, workflows and associated standards

Value is the result of measures properly articulated

Integrator’s should be able to take disparate data from a variety of devices, software and stakeholders and integrate it into a common operating picture for an effective and disciplined response and measure their people, process and tools. There are now COTS platforms that encourage this, make it cost effective and act as a benchmark for all future solutions. But the real key is a methodology by which this information is collected, organized, communicated and measured.
