The annual #ADMCongress is a priority in our calendar. Our Directors Anthony Allen, Dave Swan and Michael Mitchell along with Transformation, Engagement and Communication Specialist Kate Still attended in Canberra this year, hearing candid views from leading Government, Defence and Defence industry speakers such as the Hon. Matt Thistlethwaite MP, GWEO Chief Air Marshal Leon Phillips OAM, and Chief Executive of Lockheed Martin Australia Warren McDonald AO, CSC on contemporary challenges and opportunities in the sector. Said Anthony, "The timing of this year's event couldn't have been better; with the Government's long-awaited #SurfaceFleetReview dropping on Tuesday, this was a unique opportunity to hear directly from key decision-makers and policy-setters about the strategic agenda, and some incredible innovations that are really helping shape the future of Australia's warfare capabilities. It helps us better understand where we are heading and the role we can play in helping Defence and Australia realise those priorities." #ADMCongress #policy #strategicagenda #strategiccommunications #defence #defenceindustry #government

Fixed-price contracts have impacted the financial risk for defense companies like Lockheed Martin by shifting more of the risk onto the company. Under these contracts, the company agrees to deliver a product or service at a predetermined price, regardless of any cost overruns or unexpected expenses. This means that any cost overruns or unexpected expenses will directly impact the profit margins of the company. Furthermore, fixed-price contracts can also increase the pressure on the company to accurately estimate the costs of a project and manage those costs effectively in order to maintain profitability. This can lead to increased financial risk as any miscalculations or mismanagement of costs can result in significant financial losses for the company. Overall, fixed-price contracts have increased the financial risk for defense companies like Lockheed Martin by requiring them to take on more responsibility for cost management and potentially absorb any cost overruns, which can impact their profitability and financial stability. #procurement #military #senate #congress #governmentcontracting #army #navy #airforce #governmentagencies 🛡️ #DefenseIndustry #GovernmentContracts #PentagonProcurement #CostOverruns #DefensePolicy
