Percy Hobart Fellowship 2022
Abstract
The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence Percy Hobart Fellowship (PHF) Program, is a bespoke 12 week immersive curriculum designed to teach, inspire, and create innovative change agents for the military Services. The program is designed to instill an understanding of innovation and business practices to enhance defense innovation. Sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Research, Development, and Acquisition (ASN(RDA)), three US participants were selected from a nation-wide announcement and in January 2022, joined 40 others from the Royal Navy, Marines, Army, and Air Force in this program. It was designed and sponsored by the UKs Office of the Chief Technology Officer, conducted by PUBLIC and ran out of the NavalX London TechBridge shared facility in Whitehall London. The program was an absolute success, providing an intensive and engaging learning environment to allow the fellows to become innovation evangelists and bring modern perspectives and tools back to their home commands. The true value of the program is immeasurable, as this experience does not necessarily result in a short-term tangible outcome, but a shift in mindset that infiltrates the future thoughts and behaviors of those that have learned it. The value is in creating better leaders that can identify when change needs to occur and have the tools and network to act upon it.
