RUSI DEFENCE PROJECT MANAGEMENT SEMINAR SERIES
In association with the National Audit Office and sponsored by BAE Systems
LEADERSHIP IN COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT
15 December 2008
Royal United Services Institute, Whitehall, London
The Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) identified long-term partnering arrangements and consortia as the key to ensuring the future health of the UK’s Defence Industrial Base. As the current size of the future equipment plan is not sufficient to sustain an array of competing industrial players, joint ventures, coupled with an emphasis on through-life support, should allow all factions access to dwindling financial resources. It is a case of collaboration or bankruptcy.
Defence programmes will increasingly involve parties with no shared culture or behavioural code. In order to balance conflicting elements in the team and create a mutually beneficial outcome for all concerned programme managers will need to display strong leadership with a concomitant aptitude for effective open communication, agility and a creative and inclusive approach to problem-solving.
Furthermore, the benefits of a co-operative approach are manifest. A tight well-structured alliance will have the advantage of a broader skill base, a greater potential for innovation and increased efficiencies. Whilst industry is beginning to accept this new collaborative approach UK government officials must be sure that they are not asking companies to do something that they themselves are not fully embracing.
The seminar will draw together expert speakers from academia, consultancies, the UK Ministry of Defence, newly established defence industry consortia and civil sectors in order to explore how to optimise collaboration in programme and project management so as to achieve best results for the UK government, the Armed Forces, the defence industrial base as well as UK taxpayers.
