We share the Canadian Armed Forces' critical focus on
reconstitution, modernization, and operational readiness.
We share their concerns about procurement process
challenges, which are at a crossroads. ADGA stands ready
to support the CAF.

People will be the change. Digital Transformation
in all its forms will be the change. Everything in the
end always comes back to people—from strategists
and decision-makers to the experts who manage
our programs and projects, engineers, architects, and
specialists.
In my view, our industry is on the cusp of a major
transformation, and it has been a long time coming.
Do I think we'll see a complete change in the defence
business model in the next two years? Probably not,
but I think we'll start seeing the groundwork being laid
down and think, "Yes, advancing in this direction is long
overdue and needed."

out of a management book but in

your team alone to do what they
are there to do … need to make a
habit out of trust.
WHAT IS A HABIT THAT CONTRIBUTES
