There will be some complicated issues to discuss and resolve that would not likely be possible without the collective mindset and experience from the members of TDI. This sub working group will be held on a regular basis and will be fundamental to the MOD transition from ILS to IPS by September 2024. However this will not be a talking shop for any perceived issues or wished technical amendments to the ASD S-Series\, its focus is solely on MOD adoption. Ryan Griffin (MOD IPS Transition Project Manager) and Mark Willis (CDS Defence & Security) will be the respective MOD and industry chairs. \nPlease contact Leyton Lark for further information. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/mod-ips-transition-working-group-3/ LOCATION:TD-Info\, 6A Pinkers Court\, Briarlands Office Park\, Bristol\, BS35 3QH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:IPS CoP,JISCOT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231130T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231130T123000 DTSTAMP:20260406T183950 CREATED:20230221T095949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231113T095719Z UID:242768-1701338400-1701347400@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Integrated Product Support (IPS) CoP DESCRIPTION:To support the UK MoD and UK industry in improving Supportability Engineering (ILS) standards\, processes (technical and management) and training in order to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of Supportability Engineering (ILS) programmes and hence ultimately to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Total System (comprising the System of Interest\, the Support System and the Concept of Employment).

Some natural capital assets provide people with free goods and services\, often called ecosystem services and Infrastructure – the basic physical and organisational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings\, roads\, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise. \nHow we operate \n\nOur community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common concern\, a set of problems\, or an interest in a topic and who come together to fulfil both individual and group goals.\nCommunities of practice often focus on sharing best practices and creating new knowledge to advance a domain of professional practice. Interaction on an ongoing basis is an important part of this.\nOur community of practice relies on face-to-face meetings as well as web-based collaborative environments to communicate\, connect and conduct community activities.\n\nWhy get involved? \nYour contribution will enable you to understand the direction of travel from within Defence\, shape\, influence and assist MOD in its future direction for Natural Capital & Infrastructure. There is also a connection to work as part of a team with equally capable and knowledgeable organisations within Defence and the wider digital community. This is an opportunity for wider industry experience and best practice to be showcased within the Defence environment. \nThis will enable: \n\nUnderstanding of how focus areas will interact to realise a future end state.\nArticulation of requirements for capability across the enterprise\nDevelopment of capability roadmaps\nAlignment\, pull through and learning from representative capabilities.\n\nAssessment of potential solutions and recommendations for future development \nThe next meeting for the NC&I Cop will be taking place on 30th April 2024.
