Bruce Hankinson

With an extensive background in the Navy and Queensland state government, Bruce Hankinson’s study is using network enabled agility to develop an innovative, future-proof model for communities to not only adapt, but also to thrive, in uncertainty. Network enabled agility increases the capability of geographically dispersed emergency networks to collaborate peer-
to-peer through a high level of shared awareness.

This multidisciplinary research will test the applicability of the model on real life situations using case studies. Bruce’s research will assess individual and shared awareness, quality of decisions, quality of information and levels of enterprise synchronisation of complex emergency management operations, providing an evidence-based value chain that can guide strategy and capability development now and in the future.
