During a Monday morning huddle, KPLAO Zen, a Defensity College student and NATO C2COE staff member, shared his insights after conducting research on Information Knowledge Management (IKM) at the Centre. His presentation focused on the current state of the Centre’s IKM and potential improvements. These insights will help strengthen our organization, making us more effective, efficient, and resilient.
Zen: “Making sure everybody is aligned and “on board” will boost collaboration, turn the organization into a true information-sharing hub, and, most importantly, help us adapt and improve faster.”
These knowledge-sharing sessions play a crucial role at our Centre of Excellence by stimulating discussions and generating new perspectives and ideas. By collaborating with students from universities across the alliance, we not only pass on our knowledge to the next generation but also gain fresh viewpoints and insights from the academic world. This collaborative effort enriches our understanding and expertise, creating a mutually beneficial exchange between military and civilian scholars.
About Defensity College:
The Defensity College offers Dutch students a unique part-time job of 1 to 2 days per week to explore the organization and make a contribution. Students can apply their specific academic knowledge and receive military training at the same time. This allows them to make a difference in society during their studies.
The idea is for every student to contribute to a safer world, whether they are mechanical engineers, psychologists, IT specialists, or historians. Students can work on study-specific assignments as well as general tasks that require analytical thinking. An additional benefit is the bridge that students create between the Ministry of Defense and society.
