TELOS is a network of dedicated professionals from diverse industries and specialized domains, all committed to harnessing their extensive knowledge and experience towards solving unique challenges within defence. At TELOS, we recognize that the pace of innovation in the future operating environment will no longer be driven by government organizations. Rather, the pace of innovation will be dictated by industry pioneers and individual ingenuity.
In today's open and connected world, we can no longer look to traditional defence paradigms to prepare us for the threats of tomorrow. The modern battlefield is witnessing a continuous influx of novel technologies, skills, and ideas, often introduced by creative individuals adept at addressing modern challenges. The future of defence necessitates the infusion of fresh skills, capabilities, and ideas at the tactical level. Understanding that these skills and capabilities are seldom found within the confines of traditional defence and security organizations, TELOS leverages a network of veterans and cross-functional experts to define the problem, devise innovative solutions, and develop tailored skills and equipment to integrate new capabilities into the tactical and operational levels.
Faced with competing labour intensive tasks fueled by labour shortages and increased operational demand, further compounded by a growing bureaucracy, even agile organizations like the struggle to balance delivery of training while maintaining minimum operational requirements. They experience burnout, missed opportunities, and limitations on their operational output. Little capacity is left to innovate and keep pace with the rapidly evolving operational environment.
By engaging with TELOS, we work with you to identify and define the challenge you face or anticipate. We then engage our team of experts, both from within and outside of defence and security, reaching outside of the confines of traditional defence capabilities, to devise novel and innovative solutions to these problems. We identify the necessary skills, procedures, and equipment required to make this solution a reality. Pulling from defence and industry expertise, we develop and tactically sound and technically capable procedures with complete training plans to equip you with the capabilities your organization needs to stay relevant.
Working with industry, we identify promising tools, equipment, and technology that can be adapted to defence to enable new capabilities or new techniques. We work with manufacturers to tailor their products to your exact needs. We introduce leading-edge technology and prototypes to the applicable end-user, allowing them to trial new equipment, understand how it helps achieve their operational aims, and request modifications prior to committing to a purchase.
Working with TELOS, our typical defence engagement has the following structure:
TELOS:Building your tomorrow so that you can focus on today.
We believe that preparing for the future requires innovative thinking and a fundamental restructuring towards agile and rapidly-adaptable organizations that harness the true potential of each individual as part of a larger effort to keep the world safe.
TELOS envisions a future in which all elements of the defence community are integrated seamlessly into a robust but agile security apparatus, enabling nations to remain ahead of potential adversaries and become world-leaders in identifying and disrupting emerging threats.
Our mission is to integrate science with strategy to provide novel and innovative capabilities capable of meeting and exploiting the future security environment in the aim of achieving our purpose: to keep the world safe.
Our mission guides us, while our shared values provide common ground that unites us across industries, skills, and experience. They help us to earn the trust of our partners. We commit to live by these shared values and to embody what they represent.
Every engagement is guided by four shared values.
Integrity
Earning the trust of our clients is paramount. We serve with transparency and integrity in every engagement, committing to the promises we make and explaining the decisions we take.
Adaptability
The world is dynamic and in a state of constant evolution. We do not fixate on past decisions and remain flexible and ready to adapt as new information, ideas and technology become available.
Perseverance
The problems we solve are complex. There is seldom an immediate and apparent answer. Finding the best solution will involve in-depth research, painstaking trials and the perseverance to work through the many challenges we expect to face.
Relentless Pursuit of Innovation
We embody an unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, exploring new frontiers, and continuously striving for advancement. We thrive on curiosity, challenge conventions, and embrace the unknown with enthusiasm. Stagnation is our adversary, and complacency is never an option. Our culture values experimentation, encourages calculated risk-taking, and celebrates successes and failures as valuable learning experience.
Realize your potential.
We pledge to cultivate a culture that encourages creativity, curiosity, and out-of-the-box thinking. Your ideas will be heard, valued, and given the opportunity to flourish as we work together to develop groundbreaking solutions for our clients.
Come as you are.
We recognize that each individual brings a unique set of strengths, experiences and perspectives to the table. Qualifications do not form the totality of a person. What is more important is the experience you bring, the skills you have and the ability to integrate them into new fields and new applications.
Develop your skills.
With the variety of projects and challenges we aim to solve, you will have ample opportunities to develop new skills, expand your knowledge and learn-by-doing.
Support and Collaboration.
We commit to fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment. Our team is always ready to lend a helping hand, share insights, and collaborate on projects. Together, we can achieve more than any individual could alone.
Work-Life Balance.
We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. While we are passionate about our work, we also recognize the importance of personal well-being and family time. We support flexible work arrangements by not requiring fixed time commitments. Rather, we apply a task-based employment system that allows you to contribute at your own pace, and be rewarded for productivity.
