In 2023, Scott Nuzum, a contributor to OODA Loop and the Senior Vice President at Innovyz USA in Chicago, provided an original analysis post titled “Five Exciting Breakthroughs in Materials Science.” The article highlighted the importance of material science in driving global strategic competitive advantage in exponential, deep, frontier, and emerging technologies.
As we move into the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, we will delve deeper into Scott’s insights and expand on the intersection of project management and strategic experience. This exploration is particularly beneficial for individuals who are not technically inclined or lack a scientific background within an organizational setting.
After engaging in an interdisciplinary, cross-sector, cross-matrixed, or whole-of-government engineering or scientific project, it becomes evident that material science is a captivating discipline. It provides essential support and drives the development of various technologies that are set to revolutionize industries and change the way we live. The strategic importance of material science cannot be understated, as it holds the key to unlocking new possibilities and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
