Strategy Development

It has long been recognised that the costs associated with the through life ownership of a military asset are to a large degree committed during the acquisition phases of a programme’s life cycle. As such, the role of strategic analysis in helping to define system support strategies which balance the demands of operational effectiveness and through-life affordability is well founded. Graph showing strategic analysisLSC Group has a track record in researching and adapting industry best practice in the field of systems support, and this, combined with our extensive experience in the application of prediction and forecasting technologies, enables us to deliver insight to our customers and provide support to their strategic decision-making.

We provide a range of strategy development and analysis services to help MoD and Industry investigate the efficacy of proposed support solutions to deliver the required levels of operational capability in an affordable manner, through-life.

Our approach to support strategy development helps our customers answer questions such as:

  • How stable is a tendered support solution to changes in operational demand?
  • Which contracting mechanism redistributes programme risk most effectively?
  • Which support solution will offer our organisation an improved chance of securing business, whilst managing commercial risk?
  • How will system support demands change through the life of a contract, and how will this affect my organisation’s levels of risk and profitability?
  • How can I best leverage opportunities from my organisation’s technology and current and future defence contract demands?
  • To what extent should I flow down my company’s responsibilities to our suppliers?
