Expertise and capability

Defence capabilities

While RD Consulting was founded over a decade ago, in the last five years we have worked increasingly closely with the Department of Defence (Defence) and Defence Industry. We have delivered successful outcomes within many of Defence’s directorates and branches using our capabilities in social media, strategic communication, change management, training and facilitation, video production, graphic design services and workforce reviews.

Our first project within Defence began when the department found itself in the throes of a growing problem. It had discovered 722 associated public – but unofficial – department social media profiles that were increasing the spread of misinformation and leaking internal information, resulting in unwanted media enquiries. Defence urgently needed an experienced social media team to consolidate the profiles across the department and implement a social media strategy to maintain control going forward.

To implement the strategy, we facilitated the creation of the Defence Social Media Hub, a central point providing a consistent narrative for public relations and current affairs. We recognise that social media is a point of convergence for all staff, brands, organisations, command, members, friends, families, the public, the traditional media and enemies.

Since this project, our work in Defence has expanded. We have successfully delivered more than 50 projects and continue to support Defence in being Future Ready.

Cyber security capabilities

In the digital environment, where cyber warfare is a daily threat to Australia’s national security, digital monitoring and management is a key capability for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and electronic warfare. RD Consulting has worked – and continues to work – with Defence to harness technological platforms and tools to fuel innovation and diversify key strategies critical to the maintenance of decision-making superiority.

RD Consulting has the cyber security capabilities to deliver digital monitoring and management, situational awareness reporting, strategic guidance, digital ecosystem development and networking, collaborative research and collective training, and skills development.
