166 CHAPTER SEVEN: REFORM OF DEFENCE `` `` `` `` An organisational model that is complicated, slow and inefficient operating as a loose federation with a weak centre. A proliferation of structures, processes and systems with unclear accountabilities. External stakeholders portraying Defence as inward looking, complicated and difficult to deal with. An organisational culture that is risk averse and resistant to change. 7.6 The Review focused on looking forward and on designing an integrated organisational model to address these issues so that Defence as a whole can shape and respond quickly to changing strategic circumstances over the period to 2035. The fundamental tenet of the Review is that Defence needs to operate as One Defence, a unified and integrated organisation that is more consistently linked to its strategy and clearly led by its centre. SECTION THREE REFORM, RESOURCING & IMPLEMENTATION 7.7 Through the Review’s implementation, the Government is undertaking a once in a generation redesign of the way Defence does business. A fundamental redesign must be implemented now – an incremental approach will not deliver the Defence organisation Australia needs to achieve the long-term plans in this Defence White Paper including the more capable, agile and potent ADF. 7.8 The Review made 76 recommendations for reform. The Government has agreed, or agreed in-principle, to 75 of these recommendations. The Government did not agree to the integration of the Defence Science and Technology Group into the new Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, but will further consider this recommendation after the first year of implementation. 7.9 Implementing the Government’s reforms will ensure Defence will become an integrated organisation driven by a strong strategic centre rather than a federation of separate parts.
The First Principles Review – The Government’s reform program 167 7.10 This single integrated organisation will be agile and able to manage greater complexity, while delivering its outcomes in a more effective and efficient way. It will be more capable of adapting quickly to changing circumstances, including in response to further technological or social changes of relevance for Australia’s strategic defence interests. 7.11 Substantial changes across Defence will be made to ensure delivery of the future requirements outlined in this Defence White Paper. The changes involve organisation-wide structural, system and process changes, combined with clearer personal accountabilities and a requirement for a significant shift in business culture, particularly in the behaviours of leaders at every level. 7.12 As Defence implements the First Principles Review, it will focus on developing leadership, accountability and behaviours to drive organisational performance. The business culture will focus on building a workforce that explores opportunities, solves problems, builds teams and at every level makes judgements that are in the best interest of Defence. The performance of Defence’s senior leaders will be measured not only in terms of outcomes delivered but the effectiveness of their leadership behaviours and alignment with Defence’s values. A unified leadership team, willing to take individual accountability for improving organisational outcomes will be fundamental to Defence’s success. 7.13 The two year implementation timeframe for the First Principles Review drives a focus on tangible actions that address workplace behaviour. This is called the One Defence Behavioural Model and its focus on changing workplace behaviours is consistent with the core longer-term cultural change goals of Pathway to Change, particularly improving personal accountability. Defence will institute a performance management system that links employees’ roles and actions to Defence’s goals and deliverables. This will be supported by effective learning and development programs, and improved performance measures that support a high performing organisation.
