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

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

Components<br />
• The Critical Outcome supports the “Golden Thread”<br />
enshrined in the new MOD operating model<br />
– Linking Defence Strategic Direction through<br />
capability planning to capability delivery, generation<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 />

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