AGENDA

9.15 Welcome and introduction

David Reed, knowledge and strategy director, DataIQ

9.20 Leading with data on the frontline

Major George McCrea, chief of Staff, Headquarters Royal Engineers (Geographic), National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence

As a graduate of Sandhurst, Maj McCrea is schooled in the concept of servant leadership. As a commander in the NCGI, he is part of a transformation in how defence uses geospatial data. In both realms, his experience has parallels with the challenges faced by senior data leaders in the commercial sector – providing a role model, balancing strategic and tactical goals, innovating in often conservative organisations. It is these qualities that gained him the number ten position in the 2022 edition
