Over many years this group has been a forum for developing a common MOD and Industry approach to defining what is meant by “Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel”\, (SQEP)\, in particular for developing and managing support solutions for Defence capabilities. \nIn the past the group has developed role profiles for Support Engineering\, Supply Chain Management and Integrated Logistics Support Management. It has always sought to gain National and International recognition for the professional skills people working in Support deserve. \nThe people and skills agenda has always been important but perhaps never more so than today. This has been recognised by the Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff\, Support Operations\, (ACDS SupOps) who has been working on a Pan Defence Skills Framework and a “workforce plan”. It is recognised that for this work to be successful it cannot be achieved by MOD alone. \nWith this in mind the Deputy Head of People in Support\, Dick Dixon\, is now keen to engage Industry in this work. Dick and his team are ideally placed to cohere the professional development policy and practice for Support across the MOD.  This also extends out across government and the need to cohere skills in the logistics sector\, whilst looking to make it an attractive proposition and raise the sector’s profile. \nWe are also delighted to announce that Ian Smith from Allen Webb has agreed to become the Industry co-chair for the group. Dick and Ian would welcome your involvement in the group. A meeting to relaunch the group will be held in the TD-Info offices on 19th September 2023. Please register to attend and reach out to Dick or Ian to discuss any of the aims of the group. \nPlease contact Leyton Lark for further information. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/joint-professional-development-working-group-relaunch/ LOCATION:TD-Info\, 6A Pinkers Court\, Briarlands Office Park\, Bristol\, BS35 3QH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:JPD WG END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230706T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230706T170000 DTSTAMP:20230612T180531Z CREATED:20230612T104952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230612T180531Z UID:243513-1688653800-1688662800@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:DI23 - AI Expert Group Workshop DESCRIPTION:AI Expert Group Workshop – Day 2\, 13:30 – 16:00 \nArtificial intelligence is occupying an increasing volume of our daily news copy and has become one of\, if not the most talked about topics today. We’ve just heard how an AI project’s ‘highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal’ may have simulated an attack on its operator\, once it appeared that the programmed mission was at-risk. We also learned last month that a major UK tech company was planning to employ AI to replace over 40% of its workforce by the end of the decade. \nNot many days pass between highly credible AI mavens propounding terrifying outcomes as a consequence of their lives’ work – and their regret at placing the planet in such jeopardy. Conversely\, the opportunity to improve\, speed up\, or simplify every digitizable job appears to be very attractive. But at what cost? \nThe recent DAIC Production Model and Assurance project garnered some of the UK’s leading AI professionals many of whom – under the working title of the AI Expert Group – will be present throughout DI’23. Sharing their experience and expertise at the conference – along with a snapshot of some of their impressive AI businesses portfolios – come along to meet and discuss your views with renowned experts. Disaster-in-waiting or unimaginable boon? And what should we all be doing about it? Find out at DI’23. \nFor further details\, please contact Tony Butler – tony.butler@teamdefence.info \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/di23-ai-expert-group-workshop/ LOCATION:Active Conference Centre\, Thornbury Active Lifestyle Centre\,Alveston Hill\, Thornbury\, South Gloucestershire\, BS35 3JB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Learning ORGANIZER;CN="Jack Thompson":MAILTO:jack.thompson@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
