In the past month, several of our #ZanAssociates team members have had the opportunity to participate in various conferences either as an attendee, a presenter, or exhibitor. These conferences not only allowed us to connect with agencies and partners, but offered valuable information that we can take back and share with our team members. #presenter #exhibitor #communityengagement #equityandinclusion #transportationplanning #SparkConnectionsThatMatter #NACTO2024 #WTSAC2024 #ConnectingCulturesConnectingCommunities #MTCE

Joining conferences at Eurosatory 2024 has been incredibly insightful. We participated in sessions such as "The Horizon Europe Program for Research and Innovation in Security," delving into critical topics like civil security for society, synergies across EU capabilities, and the European framework for research and innovation. These discussions are shaping our perspective and driving innovation in defense and security. 🌍💡 #Eurosatory2024 #HorizonEurope

More Cowbell Unlimited was awarded a US Army Phase 2 Small Business Innovative Research (#SBIR) grant worth almost $2M. In lay terms, our tech improves influence by helping leaders and brands decide when and how to engage. The #Army will use our cognitive arbitrage tech as an Information Advantage enabler. We will work closely with the Army’s #InformationAdvantage Program Office to advance our Phase I prototype. Cognitive arbitrage identifies and capitalizes on opportunistic moments within systems based upon changes in human cognitive states; fundamentally, the relationship between the variety of activities within a system and the human brain being in a state of overwhelm are related. The Army will use our tech to visualize the information environment, measure intent through tertiary systems, assess target audience movement, and make system predictions. We will collaborate with the Army’s PSYOP Proponency and the 56th Theater Information Operations Group (TIOG), as well. Commercial use cases include: data-driven brand management, marketing and advertising, and hedge fund trade improvements. #informationoperations John Agnello

While preparing for Defence Service exams, I encountered thousands of myths that consistently hindered my performance, delaying results and affecting outcomes. Similarly, when aspiring to become a social entrepreneur, I faced scepticism from many who claimed it was too difficult or impossible. Amidst these challenges, I realized the importance of guidance and mentorship. During moments of frustration and doubt, having someone to encourage and remind me of my potential was invaluable. It's this support that propelled me forward, reminding me that "fortune favours the brave." In the realm of social innovation, I firmly believe that InnovatED embodies this supportive role. InnovatED empowers individuals, offering guidance and assistance tailored to their needs. Accessing InnovatED's Launchpad proved instrumental in my journey, leading me to get into programs like UnLtd India Incubation. Now, I plan to leverage Launchpad's teachings to apply for further incubation opportunities like The/Nudge Centre for Social Innovation and eivolve. For those aspiring to be social innovators, I wholeheartedly recommend joining Launchpad. It's the first step towards realizing your vision and creating meaningful change in the world.

"As MSJDN's President, I can affirm that our organization is more committed than ever to address the ongoing issues of military spouse career and income insecurity,” Claire said, adding that “Labor Department statistics show that military spouses face an unemployment rate three times the national average and at least an additional 30% are underemployed. For service members and potential recruits, these daunting numbers and harsh realities for their military spouses make the armed forces a less desirable career choice. Military Spouse career security, economic security and quality of life directly affect service member retention and troop readiness thereby also making these factors national security issues." https://lnkd.in/g3f-p-3X

I am thrilled to have represented my platoon at the debate organized by @MindThe_GapNg at the National youth service corps(Nysc) Orientation camp fanisau, Jigawa state on 22nd July, 2023. Debate Topic: Government, Policies and Citizens: Roles, Responsibilities and Opportunities _ The Youth Perspective It was a great privilege and honour to represent my platoon in the debate competition. It was a mind-boggling and exhilarating experience. The keywords of my submission includes: Government policies, subsidy removal, unemployment, corruption, bad leadership, industrialization, youth inclusion and sustainable development.

It was a great honor to be invited to attend the 2024 NATO Youth Summit as a SAIS delegate and meet so many inspiring social entrepreneurs and aspiring policymakers interested in building a peaceful and prosperous future together. We must not take the security that has underpinned human flourishing in Europe and North America and prevented the outbreak of catastrophic global conflict for granted. That security is built on credible military deterrence, but it is also based around social cohesion and political commitment to solve many of the world's most pressing challenges. We discussed topics ranging from the rise of military AI and smart cities to climate change-amplified conflict and disasters to information fatigue, but the core lesson about facing these challenges was somewhat of a throwback: we need to re-learn the value of community, trustworthy institutions, and solidarity with our fellow citizens. If we come together with compatriots at home and abroad who share our love for well-ordered liberty and peace, no challenges will be beyond our ability to resolve. Let's center that lesson in our work on technology policy, good governance, international security, and economic statecraft going forward.

Business as usual is so blah. Staying the same is no way to create a better, bolder, brighter future. The future is this way, and B Corps are leading us there. So, if you’re looking for meaningful services and purposeful products from businesses that care about more than just profit – look no further.

This is a summary of some work I did in support of the United Nations this past year. Water Security was the focus and I contributed some thoughts on how stability in.the litoral regions can lead to water security issues (iE..violence requiring military intervention). I spoke from my.own perspective, while doing so with academic freedom from National Defense University and the Behavioral International Economic Develop (BIED) Society. My professional insights...not the.endorsement of the 2 institutions i represent https://lnkd.in/eGjeHKri
