Timely and effective advice<br />

to Ministers and Government<br />

Mike Larner<br />

DST Programme Office


Aim<br />

• To ensure scientific and technologically based evidence and<br />

analysis is available to support Ministers and Government in<br />

decision-making, policymaking, and reviewing defence and security<br />

capability<br />

• It is Government policy that decisions should be made on the basis of the<br />

best available evidence.<br />

• This CO provides access to timely, quantitative & validated operational<br />

analysis and technical advice to support the planning & development of:<br />

– Policy<br />

– Force structures<br />

– Military capabilities<br />

Crown Copyright <strong>Dstl</strong> 2012<br />

UNCLASSIFIED<br />

<strong>Dstl</strong> is part of the<br />

Ministry of Defence


Benefits<br />

• MOD is able to make good decisions – helping to ensure that:<br />

– Defence is delivered in the most effective & efficient way<br />

– MOD policy, concepts, force structures & capabilities match<br />

Government aspirations and are robust to world <strong>event</strong>s/trends/shocks<br />

• Without this foundation, it is likely that decision makers will seek<br />

alternative, incoherent, inconsistent and more partial sources of decision<br />

support – leading to increased financial, technical and operational risk,<br />

and to confusion and duplication of effort.<br />

Procurement strategy<br />

• This critical outcome is:<br />

– led by <strong>Dstl</strong><br />

– mostly delivered by <strong>Dstl</strong> staff<br />

For reasons of:<br />

• Sensitivity<br />

• Impartiality<br />

• Coherence<br />

• Knowledge<br />

• Efficiency<br />

• But there is a significant and, in some areas,<br />

growing industry/academic element<br />

Because:<br />

• We don‟t have a monopoly on<br />

good ideas<br />

• We need to be able to flex<br />

resources<br />

• We don‟t need to do<br />

everything within Government<br />

Challenges<br />

• Dealing with an uncertain future<br />

– evolving character of conflict<br />

– rapidly advancing technologies<br />

• Changing MOD organisations & processes (Defence Reform)<br />

– greater emphasis on evidence based decision making<br />

– expanding customer base/scope<br />

• Preparing for SDSR2015<br />

– need to re-invigorate the analysis toolset & evidence base<br />

“There is nothing a government hates more than to be well-informed; for it makes the<br />

process of arriving at decisions much more complicated and difficult.”<br />
