Organisational Changes
Several administrative changes occurred in 2002-03. These changes reflected refinement of the operation of the Defence business model following development of internal customer-supplier arrangements.
- Defence Improvement Division was established in August 2002 as a separate (non-Group) owner support entity. It is responsible for managing change through Defence's 'Renewal' work, promoting the provision of quality advice and support to the Ministers and the Parliamentary Secretary, fostering Defence's governance arrangements, and evaluating Defence's outputs on behalf of the Minister for Defence.
- Capability, Investment and Resources Division moved to the Strategic Policy Group from the Chief Finance Officer Group in February 2003, to better meet Government capability planning requirements. This has strengthened links in the capability development chain.
- The move of Special Operations Division from the Strategic Policy Group to the Vice Chief of the Defence Force Group, in February 2003, was in recognition of the Division's specialised operational planning and direction functions on behalf of the Chief of the Defence Force.
