SPOTLIGHT: Self-reliance in the Australian tech ecosystem, with Atturra's Noel Derwort

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Noel Derwort, Executive General Manager – Advisory for Atturra, joins host Liam Garman to discuss how Atturra is embracing diversity of thought to deliver efficiencies for Defence, and how the company offers a truly sovereign capability for the ADF. The pair begin the podcast examining how Atturra supports the defence ecosystem, and how the company employs lessons and synergies from across Australian industry to support the ADF. Derwort then advises that governments and consultants rethink the consulting process, advising against acquiring technology for technology's sake – which can create more problems than solutions. They wrap up the podcast examining how Atturra is overcoming workforce challenges, employing both veterans and individuals from non-traditional backgrounds to draw on diversity of thought, before defining what true sovereignty means.
