The Authority has a requirement for the provision of Outward Mindset Implementation and Sustainment.
The Authority requires a formal training package, accredited by the Arbinger Institute, to establish principles and tools that help teams and leaders work more effectively together, creating lasting improvements in leadership and operations. The Authority requires this through two areas:
Outward Mindset Delivery – a formal training package to establish principles and tools that help teams and leaders work more effectively together, creating lasting improvements in leadership and operations.
Train The Trainer – coaching support, tools, materials and upskilling sessions as required by the DMA facilitators to develop their skills in identifying, diagnosing and resolving conflict at the lowest possible level, and providing support to others in that process.
Cyber Security: The MoD has a duty to protect itself from Cyber threats and now we extend this to Suppliers we engage with. As an extension of the Government’s Cyber Essentials Scheme, the MoD working together with Industry and other Government Departments, have developed a more robust Cyber Security Model, under the umbrella of the Defence Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP). All prime contractors must have the cyber security controls specified in DEF Stan 05-138 (Cyber Security for Defence Suppliers), as appropriate to the cyber risk level specified in the contract.
The Authority has determined the level of risk at Level 1 (foundational) RAR-JJTDKK2 as defined in DEF Stan 05-138. In order to do business with the MOD you must have the cyber security controls required as shown above.
