This will require the recruitment of a private sector partner to deliver the high-level commercial and management skills that we currently lack with the private sector partner injecting key disciplines, processes, skills and management freedoms into MOD’s procurement activity. By refocusing Head Office to provide strategic direction rather than micro-management, by empowering the Service Commands and other parts of defence to deliver and to innovate, and by bringing in private sector partners with the skills and flexibilities to help them, this programme will deliver behaviour change from the bottom up. The challenge is now to improve the productivity of every part of 5 the Defence organisation. That is the key task for 2013 for the leadership of defence.
