Secure Futures
Building a safe, secure, sustainable future for all
Holistic thinking across perceived paradoxes can find unity in opposites, inspiring new answers.
Investing in five key solution areas can strengthen the security ecosystem and open a world of possibility.
To create a secure future, think holistically
The interconnectedness of global threats calls for collaboration, and an opportunity mindset that sheds siloes and prioritises mutually beneficial partnerships.
Current and future security leaders can help to create a secure future by shifting from binary to holistic thinking across five key paradoxes:
- Focused + Broad
- Strategic + Tactical
- Global + Local
- Technology + People
- Autonomy + Protection.
Seeing the opportunities within perceived paradoxes can help leaders to create a more safe, secure, sustainable future. Five key solution areas are central to meaningful, lasting success:
1. Take an integrated world view
Put collaboration first, embracing partnership approaches to whole-system change.
2. Communicate purpose, make it personal
Reconnect with citizens, build trust, and bring them with you as national security partners.
3. Unlock insight through the power of data
Use relevant knowledge and insight to enable better decisions.
4. Reimagine critical infrastructure
Reimagine critical national infrastructure in light of changing global dynamics.
5. Optimise the talent opportunity
Build critical cross-sector skills, harness aptitude, and scale.
Almost every organisation does some kind of future orientated studies. But there’s also a need to deal with the here and now, and build alliances and partnerships for today as well as in the future.”
