Project One and Defence

Project One and Defence Supporting transformation and change for over a decade

Project One in the Defence sector

In the UK alone, the economic contribution that the defence of the country has on the prosperity of the country can’t be overstated. Annually, the MOD spend more than £20bn with UK industry and continue to invest more than £85bn on equipment and support alongside the billions in defence R&D. A strong defence and security industrial base helped the UK win orders with a value of over £18bn for equipment and security exports in 2019 – leaving the UK second and third respectively on these measures. The ongoing investment by the MOD continues to support over 200,000 jobs across the UK. Supporting transformation in the Defence Sector for over a decade Over half of our Consulting and Leadership Team have worked in this sector on well over 100 engagements in the UK and abroad, and we are committed to continue building on these relationships.

Who do we work with? Over the past 12 years, Project One is proud to have built a fantastic track record helping some of the world’s largest defence industry businesses. We continue to support three of the top four defence businesses, with their international portfolios of critical change and transformation. The combination of our industry experience and our complex change leadership capability makes Project One an ideal SME partner to support our defence customers make the most of this massive investment. Our customer list is a who’s who of the defence industry, our work has spanned some of their most pressing issues, including Digital Supply Chains, Complex Technology Systems, Cyber Security, Export Control, HR Systems, Manufacturing Systems, Finance Systems and Procurement Systems.

Forward thinking across transformation and change in defence

Climate change and sustainability There is a fast-growing pressure in the UK to reduce the carbon footprint of the MOD and its supply chain. We are well positioned to support our defence customers with their NZC portfolio, having formally committed to the UN Race to Zero campaign and signed up to the UK Government sponsored SME Climate Hub. We are working towards our goal of halving our carbon emissions by 2030 and becoming Net Zero Carbon by 2050 or sooner. Cyber When it comes to cyber security, defence businesses need to have continuous and rapid change baked into their operating model, encompassing security and assurance policies, procedures, responsibilities and governance. With the increasing number and sophistication of both threats, and of cyber standards, agility is critical, and not something that always comes naturally in the industry. Project One has experience in leading comprehensive assessments of levels of compliance, standing up remediation programmes to increase maturity and establishing target operating models to drive towards best-in-class cyber defence.

People Focus “Workforce: our finest asset” - diversity and inclusion, family matters and benefits including childcare and accommodation, a focus on career management and development, pay and reward. Project One credentials transcend the manufacturing complexities of defence sector change and we can bring our expertise in areas such as real-estate change and HR and personnel transformation to bear. The environment is changing and new pressures are facing the sector that may not have appeared in the defence change portfolios of old. Project One can provide specific advice and skills that will ensure both the solution and the way it is delivered hits the spot.

As a delivery partner, the level of value-add we can bring to bear is far more than just delivering a change project. We operate across functions and organisations as well as their suppliers and partners to work through internal and external boundaries to drive the right outcomes. “Project One is one of the best, if not the best consultancy I’ve worked with in all my years. You moved my team on massively. Your rigour, thoroughness and people skills are outstanding, and you have done a great job sharing your wisdom and experience. We have built a great relationship and I hope and expect us to work again together soon.” Head of Transformation Global Defence Business

In our major customers, we have created charters that guide how we work. These commitments are an important part of how we bring our values to life during our engagements and why we are retained to continue working with our defence customers over the long term. Our commitments are to: Deploy change specialists carefully matched to needs Place small teams of senior change professionals Deploy only where the need justifies external support Help to design and develop your internal change capability Commercial relationships that represent competitive value.

“The Project One team members were integral to the successful delivery of the programme. They worked collaboratively with our teams and delivery partners, took on accountability, demonstrated excellent stakeholder engagement and had an ability to get down and in on the issues and actions when needed.” VP Delivery Global Organisation

What Services do we deliver?

Delivering change Services at every stage across the defence sector We are change experts with many years of experience in leading, designing and executing programmes. Our multi-award winning work has enabled us to build a formidable reputation for delivering change through our core services, all of which have been deployed throughout our work in the defence sector. There are so many complexities to consider but getting the basics right in this environment is essential – the main considerations, through the spine of any change journey, that guide our approach to leading change in defence are:

Defining and Mobilising Change: Getting this part right is especially critical given the scale of complexity, and potential safety, security and compliance implications. Delivering and Embedding Change: Articles written on why complex change fails are too numerous to mention and we will not repeat the generic guidance here. Delivering change in our defence customers has taught us how to get change landed and to stick in exceptionally technical and highly skilled workforce environments.

As specialists in change and transformation, we offer an end-to-end service, working alongside you at every stage of your change journey. ​ Shaping Change: translating strategic ambitions into clear change plans​ Delivering Change: ensuring change remains under control, delivering the required business outcomes at pace​ Enabling Change: designing and improving your own change capability​ Digital Change: delivering the foundations that will support your digital strategy.

Impact of our work

Spotlight on delivery in defence To illustrate the depth and breadth of our experience in delivering change, we have selected a handful of engagements. They are typical of the scale and complexity of our support and describe how we deploy our services.

Even where enhancing change capability is not a primary objective of the organisation, it is typical that by virtue of deploying our expertise, we help organisations develop a better level of self-sufficiency. This will vary from change portfolio management (governing how you do the right change); through change delivery (helping you implement the right processes or tools to do the change programmes in the right way), and even stretches to developing bespoke mentoring or development programmes for the customers’ teams.

Project One has successfully delivered many major change programmes and services in the defence sector. The list below is an example of some of the programmes successfully delivered, some of which are showcased in more detail within this brochure.
