LEADING TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
26th October 2005, Jurys Great Russell Street Hotel, London
In association with: Lcokheed Martin STASYS
About the Interactive Workshop:
The vast majority of work in the NEC/NCW arena concerns the physical
nature of the network and equipment to support it, in the erroneous
belief that if the network issues are solved, interoperability will
result. This approach ignores the leadership, cultural and
transformational changes that need to be in place in order to exploit the
massive increase in situational awareness and collaboration that should
result from this connectivity. The Workshop is designed to give
participants the concepts and tools necessary to develop their own
framework for a NEC/NCW change process.

THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL APPROACHES TO MILITARY
TRANSFORMATION
26th October 2005, Jurys Great Russell Street Hotel, London
In association with: The Information Resources Management College,
National Defence University
About the Interactive Workshop:
The balance between the rates of transformation in coalition partners
will pose significant issues in relation to coalition concepts, doctrine,
equipment and training in the near term & future battlespace. The pace of
change will vary with potentially rapid increases in capability being
realised through the replacement of legacy or obsolete equipment. These
new systems may be a generation ahead in capability and functionality and
will raise issues in a coalition environment. The challenge to
transformation for individual nations will be complicated by need to form
multinational coalitions where diverse equipment solutions being fielded.
This Workshop will explore the differences in international military
transformation giving you a better understanding of how these different
approaches and rates of transformation will affect future concepts,
doctrine, equipment training and ultimately your organisation.
