At this stage we aim to get a baseline understanding that can be iteratively improved upon in the future. There are approx 250,000 civilian & military personnel within Defence across geographically dispersed locations & multiple organisations as well as military personnel within Defence - regular & reserve (not just the single services &taking into consideration 2 year role rotation): - HOCS (Head Office and Corporate Services) - Royal Navy - British Army - Royal Air Force - DE&S (Defence Equipment and Support) - DIO (Defence Infrastructure Organisation) - DSTL (Defence Science & Technology Laboratory) - DBS (Defence Business Services) - JFC (Joint Force Command) - UKHO (UK Hydrographic Office) - DSG (Defence Support Group) Within & across each organisation there are a wide variety of people in terms of experience, working environments, access to technology, needs & knowledge, behaviours. Insight will come from interrogating & analysing both the data MOD already has available & that gathered during this process.
