WHAT WAS YOUR MOST CHALLENGING
MOMENT?
I'm either an overt optimist, or it hasn't happened yet.
I see challenge as a forcing function in how people
and systems develop and become anti-fragile, or more
effective under stress.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT HAS YOU
MOST FIRED UP TODAY?
I believe we're on the cusp of a digital nexus, where
enabling technologies are collectively reinforcing one
another and maturing together. This unique moment
creates opportunities that were unattainable ten years
ago. I'm most excited by what we refer to as augmented
intelligence – mission-critical systems that enable
decision-makers in difficult environments to make better
decisions by using all the data to make the right decision,
rather than the right data to make a decision.
HOW HAS INNOVATION BECOME
ENGRAINED IN YOUR ORGANIZATION'S
CULTURE AND HOW IS IT BEING
OPTIMIZED?
We are midst of reshaping our defence business to focus
on three core activities: delivery, growth, and innovation
– with innovation being transversal. We're imagining a
future where those three focuses commingle and grow
by virtue of their overlap. I know we're on the right path
when I listen to the conversations we're having. We're
focused on how we can deliver greater value, faster. That
dialogue changes how we act, and new behaviours shift
and shape our culture.
CHRIS POGUE
We're pushing the boundaries of digital transformation
in what we deliver every day. We're evolving a culture
defined by innovation in all forms, including how we
partner in collaboration.
