In it, we explored how digital adoption can improve collaboration across organisations but predicted that a lack of cross-industry collaboration would continue to hold us back from meeting the sector\u2019s <em>collective and urgent issues<\/em>. At this year\u2019s DSEI event \u2013 a landmark moment in Capgemini\u2019s long relationship with UK defence, as we exhibited with a significant global presence \u2013 we found ourselves proved disappointingly correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We need to talk less; act more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a lot of good talk and excitement at DSEI, with plenty of gadgets and innovation to explore and encouraging signs of the industry discussing important topics like sustainability and talent for example. But it\u2019s clear we still need to turn that excitement into a production reality \u2013 and more quickly. As an industry, we spend lots building single point acquisitions, like submarines, aircraft and ships. But bringing the wealth of expertise and capabilities across the industry together must be the future to provide better protection for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, what we see in private industry is continuous adoption of new digital tools driven by continuous pressure. And this culture of can-do innovation brings with it a new digital culture for our staff. Defence needs to be seen and start to behave as a continuously innovative industry, seen through small, medium, and large investments and new digital defence quickly coming to the fore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We need to talk less; act more together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As highlighted in <em>Digital Culture 26<\/em>, despite more \u201cgood talk\u201d, most players in our industry are still mainly focused on their individual organisations. Healthy competition has its place, but when we\u2019re building products for the defence of the realm, actual collaboration should be driving a connected environment. We need to shift from a \u201cthis is how we did this bit\u201d mindset, to a more connected manufacturing and servicing process driven by a brilliant set of digital tools, that eliminates waste and duplication in the process. And we need the MOD to continue to incentivise it. It would allow for higher creativity, higher speed of delivery, and could be supported by a wider portfolio of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was something athlete, adventurer, and <em>Digital Culture 26<\/em> foreword author Rob Bell also noticed on his visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith Digital 26 in mind, what became increasingly clear to me was the need for supremely strong leadership to drive real change and true collaboration amongst industry partners. Especially where large national defence projects are concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the report, Capgemini clearly set out that a modern, effective, and fully integrated arena relies on comprehensive adoption of digital capabilities and seamless collaboration between many different players \u2013 some of whom may be direct competitors in certain fields. And as I understand it, that requires a significant, industry-wide culture change from the status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But we are embracing the digital agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very good news is we saw evidence that small, medium, and large companies are seeing the need for and in some cases embracing a digital culture, with much discussion about getting data flowing across boundaries and the need to go faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All organisations are on a journey, and no one is perfect, but you could see significant shared thinking and in some cases investment in digital capabilities. And this is where the next wave of innovation is required, to drive to the next step and scale \u2018it\u2019 to the extent of collaboration and the depth of this digital culture. Together, our next step is to sit down as an industry and work out the tricky equations of how \u2018it\u2019 all gets wired, connected, shared, and controlled, so that we can trust \u2018it\u2019 and make sense of \u2018it\u2019 and crucially leverage \u2018it\u2019 to provide a better service to end users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Rob put it: \u201cI was left impressed by the sophistication of the engineering on show, but the questions in my head were mainly about that leadership role. Should it come from industry project management? Is it the role of governmental procurement personnel? What is the motivation for commercial project partners to change without strong external leadership? Does a leadership team of sufficiently skilled, digitally aware individuals who are unshackled from current industry culture presently exist?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Colleague, Simon Macwhirter, has written a very similar, related piece on the defence industry\u2019s need to modernise and diversify its talent pool.
