Why is collaboration good?
Everywhere we see collaboration, we see success. Whether it is air navigation service providers (ANSPs) coordinating services in the Americas – as we see in the CADENA (CANSO ATFM Data Exchange Network for the Americas) project – or ensuring a wide range of views on the Complete Air Traffic System (CATS) Global Council, working together provides a purposeful pathway forward and minimises potential pitfalls.
Collaboration provides different perspectives and skill sets and accounts for all those affected by the proposed projects. It is not about compromise but about talking through the challenges and opportunities on offer and ensuring they are tackled in the most efficient manner possible.
This is why diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) has become such a hot topic. If we accept that collaboration is beneficial then DE&I is an essential component. The breadth of knowledge and viewpoints it brings can only boost our understanding and awareness of the issues being discussed.
DE&I does not only mean closing the gender gap in aviation. Rather, it includes all minorities and different voices in whatever form. One aspect of this that often gets overlooked is encouraging and listening to the leaders of tomorrow. The generation now entering the workforce have never known a world without email or the Internet. They are digital natives, comfortable with data sharing, and bring fresh ideas to our discussions.
That is why Airspace World features Future Skies: Tomorrow’s Voices on Thursday 21 March. In partnership with the SESAR Engage 2 Network and Firstfruits Services, CANSO wants to provide young professionals with the chance to engage with decision makers and gain the insights that will help them develop successful careers.
Remember, CATS is about our vision for seamless skies in 2045. These young professionals – the leaders of tomorrow – are the ones that will see us over that line.
There will be sessions tailored to encourage discussions between seasoned leaders and those entering the workforce. How does emerging talent view an ATM career, the technology on offer and the skills required? We will all learn from their answers, and I hope we can, in turn, inspire them to make a difference to our great industry.
Airspace World offers far more than hope for a better industry tomorrow, of course. It encapsulates all that the industry is doing and is going to do. The solutions displayed on the exhibition stands and the topics discussed in the theatres and on the floor are driving ATM forward at a greater pace than ever before.
We have enormous challenges ahead of us but enormous capability too. Take a moment to look around you at Airspace World. This is where the industry gets together, this is where ideas are formed and decisions are made. In short, this is where the industry collaborates.
I urge you to take the opportunity to network, to go to the theatres, to visit the stands. That is collaboration at ground level, and it is the foundation for future success.
It has been said many times before but is no less true because of that; collaboration is vital to air traffic management’s (ATM) future.
