In a very big week news wise, the Defence Industrial Strategy was a big headline. It's been anticipated and is a critical piece of the policy puzzle on how Canada will activate its defence spending. Some things won't change - Defence procurement (globally) is hard and often unable to meet the timelines for spending and execution. Canada is not alone, but our consensus driven procurement approach (multi-agency) and industrial economic benefits have historically put pressure on defence buyers far beyond defining complex military requirements. Canada's level of ambition and timelines are admirable. Now we need speed. TECHNATION will be pleased to work with the Government of Canada on the policy. Some early suggestions and solutions we can offer include: 1. Further prioritize the 10 key capabilities into areas of “natural ownership” where Canada has a competitive advantage and potential for exports. Determine where Canada can deliver at the pace, scale, and level of investment (within industry) that is needed to declare success. Demand signaling will be key, and industry needs to be consulted meaningfully. 2. Move at the “speed of relevance”. Define clearly around military requirements, first. Consider interoperability and interchangeability with partners and allies to generate both speed long term effectiveness. 3. Develop radical transparency on cost - Purchasing is designed to get the best combination of technical and price merit. Leverage AI and technical solutions to perform category management and reporting, so DND knows know what we are buying, when we are buying it, and from whom. Perform cost teardowns and leverage technology to build world class capability in procurement. We recognize there are no silver bullets and this will still be hard. The first step - ambition - is the right one.
