W H AT H A S YO U M O S T F I R E D U P TO DAY?
Seeing Canada move decisively toward governed, mission
specific AI and quantum safe solutions. These innovations
will define the next generation of defence readiness and
act as a force multiplier that is critically important to
scale military capability affordably, and at speed.

IBM Canada is helping reshape defence modernization
through secure, collaborative innovation. Our IBM
Defence and Intelligence Centre in Ottawa provides a
governed environment where defence stakeholders can
co-develop, test, and apply mission specific solutions
using AI and cyber resilient technologies, while exploring
the potential of quantum computing – all aligned with
Canadian standards.
W H AT H A B I T CO N T R I B U T E S
TO YO U R S U CC E S S?
Preparation. Whether for an operation or a client
engagement, understanding context and anticipating
outcomes is everything. Time spent on reconnaissance –
or rehearsals – is seldom wasted.
W H AT I S T H E B E S T A DV I C E YO U
R E C E I V E D?
"Plan generally and execute
furiously." It applies equally
in combat and in solution
development. Hyper
management of control
loops stymie innovation and
collaboration, undermine
the morale of those we
proport to lead and
empower, while creating
the operational risks that
we are usually seeking
to avoid.
