GB-Glasgow: Understanding Defence Audiences - Discovery Phase
This sits in the lower-middle of the Research & Development band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
The Ministry of Defence need to gain insight into the behaviour, needs & context of the varied audiences across the whole of UK Defence Personnel.
At this stage we aim to get a baseline understanding that can be iteratively improved upon in the future.
There are approx 250,000 civilian & military personnel within Defence across geographically dispersed locations & multiple organisations as well as military personnel within Defence - regular & reserve (not just the single services &taking into consideration 2 year role rotation): - HOCS (Head Office and Corporate Services) - Royal Navy - British Army - Royal Air Force - DE&S (Defence Equipment and Support) - DIO (Defence Infrastructure Organisation) - DSTL (Defence Science & Technology Laboratory) - DBS (Defence Business Services) - JFC (Joint Force Command) - UKHO (UK Hydrographic Office) - DSG (Defence Support Group) Within & across each organisation there are a wide variety of people in terms of experience, working environments, access to technology, needs & knowledge, behaviours.
Insight will come from interrogating & analysing both the data MOD already has available & that gathered during this process.
However, data is in different locations & will require mining from systems such as HRMS for civilians & JPA for military personnel.
This suggests a very wide stakeholder community that needs to be engaged.
This project comes in the midst of a cultural shift in how technology is used, with a major overhaul & rolling out of Office 365 across Defence Personnel.
