Having the capability to win Defence work is one thing. Having the people and capacity to actually deliver it is another.
In Episode 4 of the Defence Reality Check, Esther Anderson is joined by Charlene Clark from Catalyst Central to talk about the workforce side of Defence readiness.
What happens when an opportunity lands and you suddenly need more people? Do you have the right skills already within the business? Can your existing team absorb additional work, and how quickly can you realistically recruit if they can’t?
We look at capability versus capacity, workforce planning, recruitment and retention, and why thinking about your people before the work arrives can make a significant difference when it’s time to deliver.
Because capability on paper is only part of the picture.
You still need the people behind it.
