We don’t want to reinvent the wheel here; when we have a formula that works, let’s protect that and let’s plan for change and build upon it. And if some of the Industry 4.0 initiatives can liberate value in what we’re doing then we’ll review them as such and understand how incorporate them.
ADM: You only took up the Rohde & Schwarz MD role earlier this year. What lessons learned are you bringing from some of the adjacent industries that you’ve recently worked in?
EVANS: Business is done by people, not processes, so making sure that we’re getting out there and actually engaging with our clients and stakeholders and talking about what we have achieved. If you take the naval business for example then we’re trusted by over 40 navies for secure communications solutions. We provide an innovative fully IP secure communications architecture, a systems across platforms philosophy, multi- level security and a fully scalable solution to address commonality across the fleet.

to ADM Premium:
understanding that where you have inno- vation which works, you are able to engage with the right stakeholders with open con- versation and explain the value proposition; it’s having the confidence to engage in those debates and conversations.
In terms of leveraging other experience then I’ve learned the importance of getting out there, talking with people, making sure that we understand their challenges, their problems because at the end of the day our innovative solutions are targeted towards their issues, their challenges, be that from a test and measurement perspective such as developing a test concept for 5G. Then we’ve been working with Telstra to com- mence 5G handset performance and accep-
tance testing and I’m able to communicate that this has been fully successful.
That’s world leading capability there and having the knowledge that we’ve done that in one market and understanding what the relevance is, particularly in a defence market for example, in terms of cyber secu- rity and the Internet of Things, then having that transversal knowledge to be able to confidently talk about these things and why it’s relevant in particular domains is part of what we’re going to be doing more of.
So in terms of what have I done previ- ously, it’s understanding what is of value to your clients, engaging with your clients to be able to develop a relationship and then developing trust through delivery.
