To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how the new Operating Model will affect his Department; and if he will make a statement.

[158737]

Answer

The new Operating Model will lead to:

Net programme delivery risk reduced through empowered financial and capability delegation for delivery to the Command or Top Level Budget area best able to manage it including better management of joint enablers;

Increasingly efficient and effective delivery of operational outputs through increased freedoms to manage capability generation across the Defence Lines of Development;

Non-front line costs reduced as a proportion of overall Defence expenditure through a smaller more professional MOD and more efficient, customer focused support from our corporate service providers;

A better skilled, motivated and engaged work force through improved leadership, targeted education and training and more efficient structures and processes; and

Increased levels of trust through improved top level decision making, more transparent processes and improved communications.
