SUMMARY:AIDN x Guardware [webinar] Secure by Design: Protecting Engineering IP Across Defence Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:WHY ATTEND: You already know the dilemma: you have to share drawings and design files to win work\, but the moment those files leave your network\, you lose visibility over who has them\, where they’ve gone\, and what’s being done with them. Most businesses find out too late\, after a breach\, not before one. \nThis practical one-hour session shows how an Australian defence supplier is closing that gap on live projects\, using GuardWare PROTECT Design. Through a real customer case study\, you’ll see how to share designs with confidence\, keeping control of the file itself\, no matter where it travels\, who has it\, or what happens after the project ends. \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN \nHow protection that stays attached to the file itself\, not your network\, lets you: \n\nSecure CAD drawings\, technical designs and other engineering IP wherever they travel.\nControl who can open\, use and share protected files.\nRevoke access when project roles or circumstances change.\nProvide visibility and audit evidence around file access.\nReduce the monitoring\, investigation and reporting burden if a protected file is lost\, stolen or exposed.\nStrengthen readiness to participate in Australian defence programs\, major defence projects and AUKUS or US supply chains.\n\nLeave able to answer the question every tender and program review is starting to ask: where is our engineering IP\, who can open it\, and can we take it back if we need to?

SUMMARY:Morning Startup Presentation: How purpose turns a long list into a clear next step
DESCRIPTION:What do I do next? How purpose turns a long list into a clear next step \nEvery founder’s to-do list grows faster than it shrinks. There’s always another feature\, another meeting\, another opportunity that looks too good to miss. You finish the week exhausted\, and still can’t say whether any of it moved you forward.\nThe question underneath it all never changes: what do I do next?\nIn this session\, Paul Cannavan will share why a long list is rarely the real problem\, and why a missing sense of direction usually is. \nDrawing on 20 years building digital products\, mentoring more than 50 founders\, and some hard personal choices about where his own time goes\, Paul will tackle the questions he hears most: \n\nHow do you choose between ten good ideas when you only have time for one?\nHow do you say no without feeling like you’re missing out?\nHow do you get from a big-picture “why” to something you can actually do on Monday morning?\n\nYou’ve probably heard that you should start with why. This session is about what comes after it. Most purpose talks stop at the statement; Paul treats purpose as a decision tool that turns a why into a direction\, and a direction into the one step worth taking this week. You’ll leave with a short set of questions you can use straight away\, and your own next step noted down\, on your phone or however suits you\, along with why it matters. \nAbout the speaker \nPaul Cannavan is a product strategy consultant and the founder of With Impact In Mind. He has spent 20 years building digital products across Australia and the UK\, from working with clinicians in UK hospitals to shadowing clinical staff in First Nations clinics in the Northern Territory. He has mentored more than 50 founders through accelerator programs and runs the Innovation Shed\, a platform and hands-on workspace for early-stage Perth founders and innovators. He’s also building buddi\, a tool that helps people take the next step towards better health. His own why is simple: time\, and quality of life\, with his family
