Accenture at CANSEC

May 31 - June 1, 2023 OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA
#CANSEC2023

Solutions that empower people, increase readiness, and enhance mission outcomes.

Accenture defence

We believe nothing matters more than helping the government of Canada, National Defence, and our Canadian Armed Forces to do the extraordinary things it takes to make life better for everyone, in a stronger, safer Canada.

That’s why we bring together the most advanced R&D, the latest technologies, and human-centered design to put you at the forefront of change, and to solve mission-critical challenges.

Here in Canada, in the US, and globally, we serve every aspect of the Defence mission, by delivering with Defence and Armed Forces clients on the promise and imperatives of Digital transformation: from manufacture to mission, from recruiting to retirement, and from the corporate space to the battlespace.

Enabled and empowered by Accenture’s 700,000+ global workforce, strong eco-system partnerships, and our 18-country global defence team, we understand the business of Defence and are practiced in how to see your people, teams and missions powered and empowered – wherever they serve.

Digital transformation

Digital is core to Defence. It is the Leaders’ business, from the corporate space to the battle space, from recruiting to retirement. Digital includes technology, people, and process to transform the way people live and work. Digital in the broadest definition is critical to the mission and organizational outcomes of the Canadian Defence department and Armed Forces. Accenture’s leaders, teams, and eco-system partners have experience working with Defence and Armed Forces to implement integrated digital solutions that encompass people, process, and technology in a seamless manner. Add us to your eco-system to deliver DIGITAL outcomes to your people, teams and missions that matter.

Command, Control & Intelligence (PDC2+) is key to possessing competitive advantage, at the edge. Leveraging the power of what machines do so well with the cognitive strengths of your people combines to yield a much faster and more trusted set of outcomes to succeed in the hider/finder fights of today and tomorrow. In modern war, command and control is a weapon system and data is ammunition. Accenture’s global defence network brings experience delivering in countries like the US, Australia and the United Kingdom, and we know that technology, alone, is not the answer. Adapting that technology to your workforce and existing processes is where the magic truly happens – and Accenture’s strength.

Supply chain

Nowhere are supply chain disruptions more impactful than on military operations. The pandemic, war in Ukraine, economic uncertainty and natural disasters have all caused shortages and delays of everything from fighter jets to helmets. The CAF’s ability to rapidly deploy and sustain combat-capable joint forces, that are interoperable within a multinational coalition, greatly depends on a robust E2E Defence Supply Chain – from factory to foxhole. And while both global supply chain volatility and geopolitical uncertainty are expected to continue, the CAF must develop an Intelligent and Resilient Defence Supply Chain to ensure continued readiness and mission success.

People and talent

People and Talent power CAF and the broader Defence team; this is a journey that spans from attraction and retention to retirement and the transition into life beyond the uniform. Foundational to this is a view that technology is an enabler to support this talent cycle, in a people centric manner. We are helping other Armed Forces transform the service life experience by implementing new ways of attracting and recruiting talent, and reaching out to the non-core intended audience groups to create a curiosity and leverage unique demographic characteristics. Come talk to us about how we are doing that.
