Defence Industry Leadership Program & Relevant Networks
On Thursday 4 April, members and guests joined us at Saab for our second Defence Community of Practice event.
Gordon Edwards from Heavypoint discussed the Defence Industry Leadership Program and provided an overview of the course including the purpose, rationale, objectives, outcomes and a short case study.
Following on from Gordon’s presentation, Neville Cornish from Australian Welding Solutions presented on the Relevance of Industry Associations and Networks to the Defence Sector and their future. He mentioned, over the coming decades Australia will modernise the Australian Defence Force with a $200 billion investment within the Defence industry sector including frigates, submarines, joint strike fighters and armoured vehicles. The successful delivery of these capabilities requires the revolution of the current Defence and Industry relationship. He got the audience to think about how relevant the industry associations and networks to companies and Defence in the sector are, and if they are, why and how; and if not, what needs to change?
We would like to thank Saab for hosting this event.
