Driving advantage: Digital transformation as a force multiplier
Following publication of the UK’s Strategic Defence Review, the session will explore the ambition and challenges of realising the “Digital Targeting Web” by 2027, drawing on previous UK attempts of Network-Centric Warfare (c2002) / General Barrons’ Warfare in the Information Age (2014), and more recent lessons from Ukraine and NATO Allies. The panel blend of senior leaders across the digital, acquisition and warfighting areas will explore the realities of innovating at the pace required to 10x lethality, including a view on how the new Acquisition Segmentation reform is going, whilst ensuring an improved relationship with industry – large and small.
