Noetic was recently awarded a contract to assist the National Institute of Health and the Office of the Secretary of Defense in exploring areas of research into human performance modification which may be of potential mutual utility.

Noetic recently held the fourth and final war-game of the NeXTech project. The war-game was held in Annapolis from the 27-28th March in partnership with the U.S. Naval Academy and sponsored by the Rapid Reaction Technology Office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Noetic’s D.C. office welcomes its newest member of the team, Mrs. Amrita Jhanjee, who will be supporting the team as the Office Administrator. Amrita comes to Noetic having worked for several years at the Australian Embassy in Washington D.C. and for the Department of Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs in Tasmania, Australia. Amrita also has experience working with American Express and Thomas Cook in New Delhi, India.

Noetic delivered its inaugural training course on Lessons Learnt in Sydney on 16 – 18 April 2013. The training was attended by a combination of Commonwealth Government, NSW Government and private sector representatives. The course provided participants with the knowledge to ensure that observations from major events are validated, lessons are extracted, and resulting actions and accountabilities are assigned so that the lessons are in fact learnt.

In mid-2012, the NSW government (Australia) announced its intention to lease two major NSW sea ports (Port Botany and Port Kembla) and associated intermodal facilities. Noetic worked with a consortium interested in bidding for the lease, which required comprehensive technical and commercial due diligence study, including detailed revenue and expenditure projections. The consortium comprised global investors with in excess of US$350 billion of capital under management and a global portfolio of infrastructure assets including ports and airports.
