Over many years this group has been a forum for developing a common MOD and Industry approach to defining what is meant by “Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel”\, (SQEP)\, in particular for developing and managing support solutions for Defence capabilities. \nIn the past the group has developed role profiles for Support Engineering\, Supply Chain Management and Integrated Logistics Support Management. It has always sought to gain National and International recognition for the professional skills people working in Support deserve. \nThe people and skills agenda has always been important but perhaps never more so than today. This has been recognised by the Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff\, Support Operations\, (ACDS SupOps) who has been working on a Pan Defence Skills Framework and a “workforce plan”. It is recognised that for this work to be successful it cannot be achieved by MOD alone. \nWith this in mind the Deputy Head of People in Support\, Dick Dixon\, is now keen to engage Industry in this work. Dick and his team are ideally placed to cohere the professional development policy and practice for Support across the MOD.  This also extends out across government and the need to cohere skills in the logistics sector\, whilst looking to make it an attractive proposition and raise the sector’s profile. \nWe are also delighted to announce that Ian Smith from Allen Webb has agreed to become the Industry co-chair for the group. Dick and Ian would welcome your involvement in the group. A meeting to relaunch the group will be held in the TD-Info offices on 19th September 2023. Please register to attend and reach out to Dick or Ian to discuss any of the aims of the group. \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/joint-professional-development-working-group-relaunch/ LOCATION:TD-Info\, 6A Pinkers Court\, Briarlands Office Park\, Bristol\, BS35 3QH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:JPD WG END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230920T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230920T123000 DTSTAMP:20260408T184335 CREATED:20230221T095855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230905T101601Z UID:242767-1695204000-1695213000@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).

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-2/ LOCATION:TD-Info\, 6A Pinkers Court\, Briarlands Office Park\, Bristol\, BS35 3QH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:IPS CoP,JISCOT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
