Supporting the Defence Team to Face Hybrid Warfare and the Grey Zone: An International Seminar on Operational and Strategic Design — The applicant proposes to bring together 20 international academics, military, and government personnel, and a host of members from the Defence Team for a 3-day seminar. The event will explore operational and strategic design in complex environments such as grey zone conflict and hybrid warfare, and will use animation procedures (i.e. System Operation Design methodology) to translate the tacit knowledge of Generals into tangible knowledge.
