🚀 Just back from the Paris Defence & Strategy Forum, and wow, what an experience!
It was a privilege to be able to listen and discuss with some of the most influential figures in Europe's defence sector, including the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, France's Minister of Defence, Sébastien Lecornu, and key military decision makers from the UK and France.
My key takeaways:
Talent is Key 🌟: There's a unanimous agreement that attracting and retaining top talent is now a strategic priority for the defence sector in Europe. It's all about getting the right people in the right places to keep us safe and secure.
Tech as a Game Changer 💡: AI and other technologies are set to revolutionise efficiency and productivity. Imagine having more time to think, create, and solve because the machines are taking care of the routine. That future is now.
Collective Intelligence is the Future 🧠: One of the biggest challenges we face is breaking down silos to solve complex problems. True collaboration across teams and leveraging collective intelligence is hard but necessary. And yes, most tools out there don't quite cut it—they create more barriers than bridges.
I'm really excited because we've been tackling these challenges head-on for years at Hive & FutureWork Studio. We've been perfecting ways to harness collective intelligence, making teams more than the sum of their parts. And it works. When you get it right, the results are nothing short of magical.
To all the decision-makers, thinkers, and doers I met in Paris: Thank you. Your insights and openness to new ideas are what's going to drive us into a safer, more connected future.
So let's take these learnings and not just adapt but lead the way in innovation, collaboration, and strategic talent management. The time to act is now. Let's make the future of work not just a concept, but a reality. 🚀
