This innovative project will engage 50-100 of our current NZDF Active Reservists, aiming to harness and map the vast non-military skills within our Reserve Forces, representing the capabilities of our wider team. 🔍 Project Objectives 🔍 Through this collaborative effort, we aim to: Enhance Engagement: Discover the most effective ways to connect with NZDF Reservists, leveraging WithYouWithMe's expertise in veteran engagement. Understand Our People: Create detailed persona templates based on common individual circumstances, guiding future initiatives. Map Skills and Experience: Utilise the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) to catalogue the skills and experiences within our ranks, aided by WithYouWithMe's analytical tools. Optimise Skill Interoperability: Identify opportunities to better access and deploy these capabilities within the NZDF framework. 🌟 Join Us on This Collaborative Journey 🌟 We are seeking a wide range of participants from our Reserve Forces to provide diverse insights into this strategic venture. Your expertise and perspective are crucial in shaping the comprehensive skills landscape of our Reserves. If you're ready to contribute to this quick-turn around and innovative project and influence the future trajectory of the NZDF Reserve Forces, please reach out to me ASAP. Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui - let's harness our collective strength, courage, and resilience to shine a light on the possibilities ahead. In partnership with WithYouWithMe, we are set to embark on a transformative journey that will redefine our understanding and utilisation of Reserve Forces' skills. #NZDFReserves #MicroPilot #WithYouWithMe #SkillMapping #StrategicEngagement #FutureReady #CollectiveStrength #ReservistInsight #SFIAFramework #AotearoaDefence #ShapeOurFuture

Defence technology is at the forefront of global discussions as battles continue in Ukraine and the Middle East. At the Resolution Conference and Sifted Summit in London, Ukrainian companies showcased rapid innovation fuelled by frontline feedback and backed by generous donors and charities. This agile progress contrasts with traditional defence tech, dominated by major contractors and lengthy government procurement processes. Notably, real-world demands have led to a fourfold rise in venture capital investment for defence tech in NATO countries since 2019, with 59 new European and 51 new American defence firms emerging in this period.

Much as I've said in the past that over-extension of VC funding is a dangerous game, and much as I find the concept of 'disruption' of an industry as vital and profound as defence to be objectionable as a premise...I don't think that I've seen the issues of the current procurement bureaucracy (whether PPBE or that form of procurement solution utilised in any nation) and its real world detriment put forth in a more sensible, concise, and profound manner. Granted, the trifecta of exquisite, expendable, and reusable systems all have their place in warfare in a general sense for any major warfighter. Yet, this paper lays out the problems and solutions with precision, clarity, and puts forth an ideal justification for achievable implementation of industrial might and free market power for the development and proliferation of superior systems. While admittedly, it's unlikely to come about rapidly given the entrenched nature of any government organisation (regardless of nationality) the aims and ideals set out in this paper are what the envisioned combinitive power of private firms and government entities within defence is MEANT to be (the very vision that those making the choice between privatised/private defence firms and purely state-run institutions were employing when they chose to side with the former.) As I said last week, Anduril Industries' competition with the rest of the UAS Primes for the NGAD Loyal Wingman programme (alongside such a meteoric rise) really do show the successful implementation of the model set forth (something not to be simply dismissed.) Not that it matters given our current insignificance within the defence market, but EMC Operations Group is backing Fury all the way, confident in Anduril's ability to deliver on the first proper procurement of long-term, universally considered mainstay systems (alongside involvement in the new US industrial strategy steps forward.) As aforementioned, I'm against the manner in which most firms are trying to ride VC funding in an unsustainable manner, but Anduril is one of the few firms treading the line correctly. Christian, what a brilliant analysis (economically, militarily, industrially doctrinally, academically, politically...really hits the nail on the head in all categories.) I truly do recommend a read! #defence #defenceindustry #military #armedforces #defense #defenseindustry #warfare #academia #industry #industrialinnovation #industrialstrategy #anduril #andurilindustries #procurement Christian Brose Peter W.

Extractions: 1.The initiative of independent actors in this ecosystem has given Ukraine an early edge in many areas such as the use of autonomy and artificial intelligence in support of reconnaissance and precision strikes. However, the informality of the approach also poses challenges. 2.Donations and crowdfunding enjoy low overheads, but only commercial contracting can tap the much larger and reliable pools of state funding and private capital necessary for planning and scale. The donation of ostensibly free goods and services has enhanced national resilience, but the outsized role of volunteers in the supply of essential battlefield capabilities sometimes becomes a source of controversy. https://lnkd.in/dhpbDWWq

Rural areas lack access to “gold standard care” as it is, let alone a military installation, limited to Tricare providers, who are reimbursed 20% of their costs. I spoke with a neurosurgeon who said “at least Medicare and Medicaid pay. Tricare may not pay for surgeries for two years, if at all. A warm body, or “someone with a degree” in a rural area doesn’t not equal quality care. Expertise and skill is required in these areas without access to research or level 1 hospitals. See post on spine issues and increased incidence in military in the comments. When a service member sacrifices their autonomy, they should not also sacrifice their agency to affect the care they receive or to be cared for correctly. When my last Navy clinic is reported to be 3rd in ALL of mootsru medicine, not just the Navy, in a rural area, DHA needs to not simply stay the course. They need to excel, and exceed expectations if they are going to limit access and be a gatekeeper to gold standard care.

Successful people aren't the smartest people. They're the ones who won't stop when it's hard.  They're the ones who take action. They're the ones who take risks.  #mdnaimhossain, #naimhossain #unique_outsourcing_bd #naim #uniqueoutsourcingbd
