Bookings close at 4pm on 25 November for the 2015 Goldrick Seminar. The seminar, on 3 December 2015 and proudly sponsored by QinetiQ, will look at the future of the Navy and the continuous shipbuilding initiative.
You can register and pay online here.
The recently announced policy of continuous shipbuilding is a strategic initiative of enormous breadth and implication. One of the mistakes people will make is to think it is merely a strategy of shipbuilding.
Adopting a continuous shipbuilding strategy, the Nation is investing – beyond the Royal Australian Navy –in Australian technological-industrial infrastructure.
Continuous shipbuilding will exert a pervasive influence upon the entire of the Navy organisation, and upon the Nation. Far-sighted and penetrating, the strategy will call upon the Navy to focus more intently on the future, and to be less comfortable with fixed and familiar modes of operation. This policy heralds a coming of age for the Navy, and for the Nation.
The 2015 seminar will include speakers from Defence, Academia and Industry. The event will consist of Navy and Academic discussion on the Defence White Paper in the morning session followed by a light lunch, with the afternoon session comprising Naval Capability and Industry perspectives. There will be an interactive panel discussion at the conclusion of the morning session.
Professionals interested in strategy, policy and in the future of naval procurement and materiel systems should attend.
