“…However, the potential for advanced data science techniques to help disentangle the complicated issues surrounding acquisition is largely speculative. 3 In an effort to address that potential, we examined commercial data practices that might translate to the DoD acquisition community in the areas of data governance and analytics. Benchmarking select private-sector data governance and analytics practices helps establish a baseline against which DoD practices can be compared.…”

Implications for Department of Defense Acquisition P ublic and private organizations are increasingly aware of the potential value of data and analytics to improving organizational performance and outcomes. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is one of those organizations. Its size, complexity, security needs, and culture have created a challenging environment for successful use of data in decisionmaking. Over the past five years, the RAND Corporation has studied how DoD governs, manages, secures, and uses data within its acquisition institutions. 1 These data lay an important part of the foundation for decisions on DoD's weapon system acquisition portfolio. The private sector faces similar data challenges, so the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment [OUSD(A&S)] asked us to expand this research to the private sector, focusing on how the private
