Welcome to the TIPping Point, where you’ll find real stories from actual people who are digitally transforming the Department of the Air Force (DAF). Presumably, you’re here because you’re interested in the DAF’s ongoing modernization; perhaps you’re looking for insights on how to drive digital innovation in your organization, or to learn from others who are making an impact. Whether you’re an Air or Space Force professional, industry partner, or allied colleague, you’re in the right place.

Why the “TIPping Point”? Because this whole digital thing is a Transformation in Progress. It’s complex and intimidating and more difficult than any of us would like it to be. Trial and error may feel irresponsible, especially when today’s tasks are overwhelming, and doubts abound as to whether tomorrow can actually get any better. But there is good news:  digital is real today in the DAF. Learning from each other is the best way to progress faster—the only way to reach the tipping point where grassroots innovation evolves into new norms across our workforce.

That’s why we’re excited to launch this series, where we’ll share stories from across the DAF. Every couple of weeks, we’ll release a new blog post featuring a unique transformation story to explore what’s working and what’s not (yet) while highlighting insights to help you on your own digital journey. Keep an eye out for the next installments featuring the B-1 and F-16 program offices!

The TIPping Point is distinct from our Agents of Change program, which recognizes individual innovation and perseverance. Instead, this series is focused on sharing your stories and lessons learned to build momentum for a more digital DAF. The DAF DTO will continue to share relevant digital information in other DTO blog posts, but we’ll add TIPping Point posts into the rotation to celebrate your successes, learn from your challenges, and provide a platform for sharing knowledge and expertise.

We invite you to join us on this journey. We’ll provide updates on how to submit your own transformation story. We’d also love for you to share and react to each post on our website and LinkedIn. Together, let’s drive digital innovation and transformation in the DAF!
