  • 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.
