Where data driven business intelligence is a matter of life and death
Science & Technology in Defence
Modern warfare leads the development of technology in
the field of data
collection, analytics & AI to enable shared picture and collaborative working aligned to a
common strategic goal. It is literally a case of life and death.
Goal
Design an evidence-based business strategy
for a major international defence company to meet the data transfer, training,
testing and operational effectiveness needs for UK defence and international allies.
Action
Initially understand existing and future data collection
and transfer capabilities then match these to operational decision-making
requirements. Build a strategy around the fundamental requirement to ensure decision makers have
access to prioritised data, preventing information saturation and improving
the decision making process. Identify the need to train data scientists in
strategic decision making and leaders in the framing of data capture
requirements. Designed a programme to train the art and science of modern
business intelligence.
Results
Strategy accepted by the Board and is being implemented.
