Collaboration
AI in defence: the urgent need for a ‘theory of winning’
In today’s world, the nature of competition – whether in business or on the battlefield – has fundamentally shifted. Success is no longer defined by individual products, services, or capabilities. Instead, it hinges on the ability to innovate continuously and at scale.
Team Fisher
In the realm of defence, the difference between days, weeks and months can have a huge impact on operations. This is especially pertinent with the time it takes defence organisations, like the Royal Navy, to deploy properly trained personnel.
Fujitsu's Intelligence Ecosystem
Our world is becoming increasingly unpredictable, making relevant and timely intelligence more valuable than ever. Running parallel to this is the need to unleash the potential advantage from ever-growing oceans of data.

Start with where
In the fast-paced business world, challenges like inventory management, stock quality, and asset performance are common. Conventional wisdom would suggest we address them by first asking “why?”. But should we be asking “where”? In this article, Darren Newman, Managing Director of GlobeRanger, advocates a “Start with where” approach, highlighting the importance of tracking asset locations to address these issues effectively.

In just a few short years, businesses have adopted GenAI with 67% of companies already deploying AI solutions.* However this fast-paced move comes with complexities, leaving many leaders trying to balance its enormous potential with evolving risks and challenges.
