Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister and General, for being here with us today. It is an honour to have you here at committee. I just want to thank you so much, on behalf of everyone here, for your leadership and service. I also thank all the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces for their service, dedication and sacrifice.
Furthermore, thank you so much for your leadership and support of Ukraine in its time of need. As we speak, Canadian soldiers are in Poland training Ukrainians on how to use Leopard tanks. That makes me very proud, as a Polish Canadian. I just want to thank you very much for everything you are doing to support Ukrainians in their struggle.
Minister, Stephen Rosen, one of the leading thinkers on innovation and the modern military, summarized the problem well when he said, “Almost everything we know in theory about large bureaucracies suggests not only that they are hard to change, but that they are designed not to change.”
I want to ask you this: In seeking support and insight from McKinsey, what value does a tool like McKinsey's organizational health index, or OHI, provide to the Department of National Defence?
