Ori Saar served in a wide range of innovation roles inside of the Israeli Defense Forces. This episode pairs well with our previous Defense Innovation episodes, #8 Brain ‘Beam’ Maue and #13 Prescott Pauling. We dive into Ori’s experience building innovation infrastructure for the Israeli Air Force and then for the Israeli Defense Force’s planning directorate. Next, Ori shares his take on what innovation really means and why defense innovation is so important. Since we recorded this episode around the time of the last round of the last round of substantial rocket fire from Gaza into Israel, Ori provided his unique perspective on how terrorist adoption of innovation and technology necessitates even more rapid and streamlined innovation processes. To wrap up, Ori shares reflections on his time in the IDF and his transition out of his military service.
