You have the budget for new equipment, but do you have the people to win? Right now, rigid career structures, poor digital tools and data and bureaucratic barriers are preventing Defence from harnessing the nation’s talent at the speed the threat demands.

This panel will move beyond diagnosing the problem. It brings together senior leaders across the eco-system for a candid debate on the tough, practical reforms needed to build a military that can actually win. Join us to explore actionable ideas - from new pathways to serve to skills-based careers - that will ensure that new equipment investment delivers genuine security.
