On 25-Jun-26, I had the pleasure of giving a guest lecture to the Aston Crisis Management Centre, established in 2022 to become the world’s leading centre of excellence for crisis and disaster management insight, education, policy and practical (professional) implementation.

The lecture discussed how Dedoctive, via the ITEA SIREN programme and planned follow-on research, is at the heart of new types of disaster logistics tooling, and how we plan to extend the tooling into what-if scenario planning and help reduce supply chain risks in crisis situations.

Although I was rather unwell at the time of the lecture, the audience was great and there was a lively, open discussion for the second half hour. If you would like to watch the talk, the recording is shown below and further feedback is always welcome.

It puts our current challenges in context, shows why change is necessary and provides a trove of practical ideas for change makers.”

Vint Cerf, co-inventor of the Internet, in a second foreword, wrote “Supercommunities offers a path away from social and economic meltdown … We will need to replace short-term thinking with long term planning and execution if we are to regain upward motion towards common benefit for everyone on Spaceship Earth. To begin, read this book!”
