The importance of high performing people and teamsIt is through our Acquisition People and teams that we will:
Previous reforms in acquisition have focused on changes to organisation and process but have lacked sufficient and sustained commitment to the development of the required behaviours, culture and professionalism of our staff. Behavioural and Cultural ChangeWe have recognised that behaviour and culture are central to creating a high performing acquisition organisation. Equally important is having skilled and professional staff where and when they are needed by the business. We recognise that Human Resources (HR) processes are important in making sure that staff are better motivated, rewarded and recognised for demonstrating improved acquisition performance. The MOD is investing in behavioural change and the recruitment or development of staff with the professional skills necessary for acquisition roles. The MOD is making changes to HR processes or delegations to ensure the business is able to deliver the improved capability required by our Armed Forces. People in acquisition must demonstrate the Defence Values for Acquisition and they will be accountable for the difficult decisions they make, but they will be rewarded appropriately. Development of SkillsThe acquisition community is large, and the range and depth of skills and knowledge needed are diverse. People working in acquisition will be encouraged to develop a range of skills through increased practical experience and professional qualifications. Increasing the skills of our staff and deploying them where and when they are most needed will be an increasingly important aspect of HR management. This process – known as Flexible Resourcing – is being piloted n Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S).
