Host Phil Tarrant is joined at Pacific 2019 by John ‘JP’ Smith, general manager of defence at consulting firm Noetic Group.
Smith conveys the role of Noetic’s work in the Australian defence landscape, what the environment is like for consulting businesses that address the ‘harder edge’ of government matters, and how his organisation balances tackling issues of the moment with preparing for the future. He also shares the key attributes and skills necessary to succeed in his role, how his company recruits the right people, and details about the unique graduate program offered by Noetic.
