MOD IPS Transition Working Group
2023-11-09 10:30 - 12:30 | TD-Info, 6A Pinkers Court, Briarlands Office Park, Bristol, BS35 3QH, United Kingdom
This sub working group is open to all interested parties that would like the opportunity to assist the Ministry of Defence transition to IPS and the ASD S-Series. 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.

Joint Professional Development Working Group
2023-12-15 09:00 - 09:45 | Virtual – MS Teams
The JPDWG has held 2 meetings to establish the scope and activity to deliver against developing a Skills Framework for Support.
Addresses are requested by 13th Dec to:

provide their agreement to the terms of reference for the Working Group
allocate resource for the Working Groups to deliver against the plan of work set out in the terms of reference
share their own skills frameworks to the group for comparison and development.

The timeline for activity is below and is challenging, but it is expected that for most areas there will be existing frameworks that can be used for comparison and agreement making the ask less onerous. Ideally the members of the sub working group should be subject matter experts or people who develop / maintain these skills frameworks as part of their normal day job.
Timeline

A common taxonomy describing all the roles (by end mid Jan 24).
A definition of the knowledge, skills, experience, and behaviours required for each role for up to seven proficiency levels (Awareness, Foundation, Working, Practitioner, Experienced practitioner, Expert, Strategist) (by end March 24).
A definition of the development pathways to move between the skill levels, highlighting accreditation and training routes aligned with Industry and professional standards (by end March 24).
A definition of career pathways to show how to progress and build capability (by June 24).
A definition of knowledge, skills, experience, and behaviours needed for the future. (tbd)
A risk register highlighting skills shortages now and predicted for next 5 years. (ongoing)
A communications plan targeted at different stakeholder groups for highlighting the skills profiles and development opportunities (by Feb 24).
A maintenance plan for all artefacts to remain current (by end Feb 24).
To develop and deliver an outreach programme for schools to attract leavers to the sector. (commence Jan 24 onwards).

The activity will be broken down into disciplines to form sub working groups, the current working assumption is the following groups will be established subject to agreement and change:

Material Accounting: All roles whose primary function is associated with developing, implementing and maintaining material accounting policy for inventory.

Driving: All roles involved in driving & operating of vehicles of all types

TTLS / ILS / IPS: roles providing advice on the delivery of integrated logistic strategic planning and support arrangements. These include planning, delivery and operation of in-service support, equipment modification, understanding repair procedures and resolution of design and maintenance issues.

Postal and Courier: roles involved in receipt, sort and despatch of mail, handling of special delivery, postal courier and escorting mail. Assessment of delivery costs and post office counter sales.

Supply Chain Management / Inventory Management: roles involved in the provision of logistic services to meet specialist equipment needs, including introduction of In-Service support, equipment modifications equipment safety, understanding of repair procedures.

Transportation and Movement: roles involved in the provision of transport and movement services including planning, coordination, management of physical driving/operating equipment.

Warehouse Ops / Storekeepers: roles involved in the warehousing function, including Mechanical Handling Equipment (MHE) operations, packaging, receipts, returns and issues, storekeeping, stocktaking, storage and distribution.

Energy – to be defined.

These groups will be formally established on 15th Dec at the next meeting and will require resource assigned to each group to test viability for development and refinement of timeline.

Defence Modelling & Simulation Office (DMSO) - Industry Engagement Workshops
2024-01-23 10:00 - 16:00 | MOD Shrivenham, Defence Academy, Faringdon Rd, Shrivenham, Swindon, SN6 8LA, United Kingdom
Please note – Expressions of Interest and security details must be submitted before 15th December.
Register Interest – Link
Submit Security Details – Link
A new TD-info supported MOD Defence Modelling and Simulation Centre (DMSO) industry engagement workshops has now been announced.
The Defence Modelling and Simulation Office (DMSO) – sits within UK StratCom Joint Warfare with pan-Defence responsibilities. DMSO provides improved coordination and coherence of MOD M&S activity to promote both VfM and improved M&S capability across the Defence Enterprise. It ‘champions’ the role of Modelling & Simulation (M&S), informs and advocates policy, and exploits opportunities for greater cost-effectiveness and consistency through the sharing of M&S knowledge and resources. DMSO will promote and create partnerships with Industry, Academia, OGDs and International Partners to secure these aims.
An industry wide investigation and advice task into the DMSO Defence Synthetic Environment Programme (DSEP) will look at: What should a pan-Defence M&S Ecosystem be? What should it deliver? How should it deliver?
DMSO are seeking a comprehensive view from industry on how to increase the use and effectiveness of M&S across Defence from R&D through to Operations. What does MOD need to do to enable industry to deliver more effectively and to be more agile.
DMSO are looking for an industry perspective across three different levels using focused workshops at this event on:

Workshop on Strategic Development – Partners To design, build, integrate and deliver the solutions & components for a cohesive pan-Defence M&S ecosystem delivered via DSEP.
Workshop on Service Partners – Vendors who can provide M&S data, components, services, and applications to meet current and future needs.
Workshop on Solution Partners – Companies and end users who should benefit from DSEP to deliver more effective solutions into Defence, whether that’s R&D, T&E, Training or Operations

Register for your chosen workshop via the links to the side of the page

Why get involved?
Your contribution will enable you to understand the direction of travel from within Defence, shape, influence and assist MOD in its future direction for Modelling & Simulation.
There is also the opportunity to work as part of a team with equally capable and knowledgeable organisations within Defence and the wider digital community.
This is an opening for wider industry experience and best practice to be showcased within the Defence environment.
This will enable:

Understanding of how focus areas will interact to realise a future end state.
Articulation of requirements for Modelling & Simulation capability across the enterprise
Development of capability roadmaps
Alignment, pull through and learning from representative Modelling & Simulation capabilities.
Assessment of potential system solutions and recommendations for future development

Demonstrate and influence the current and future state of Modelling & Simulation within MOD and industry partners:

As development partners
As data, application and or service providers
As end users for capability delivery
