The Pilot Project Podcast

What does it take to take on the responsibility of being the Chief of Staff Chief Professional Conduct and Culture (COS CPCC) in the wake of the larger culture change effort that the Canadian Armed Forces has pursued over the last 10 or more years? Why is culture change necessary, and what does it even mean within the context of the military? Major-General Jeannot Boucher is a helicopter pilot with over 3000 flight hours. He has the experience at the tactical and command level to understand what it means to operate, but also has dedicated himself to learning about our culture and what it means to change and evolve. Today we will discuss his current position as COS CPCC as well as a larger discussion on culture change within the Canadian Armed Forces, and finally we will end with some questions from the audience.
