On this Defence Deconstructed 2-parter, David Perry talks to Fellow Alex Rudolph about digital transformation and how it requires to fundamentally transform the Canadian military. This segment is part of our Triple Helix set of activities, and is based on a paper Alex wrote earlier in 2024: https://www.cgai.ca/digital_transformation_and_pan_domain_the_cafs_quiet_revolution_in_military_affairs

Then (38:35, you’ll hear a panel discussion on the implementation of defence real property projects between
