The main thrust of this Report is on issues to do with strategy, organization and processes. The single most encouraging and exciting feature of the SMART procurement initiative is that it embraces the need to change the culture. Riding on the back of New Labour is a commitment within the high political echelon of the MoD to make this change happen. Probably the greatest single challenge is to ensure that this commitment is maintained through the inevitable changes of personality at the political and senior management level.
