Improving defence acquisition performance

PA is at the forefront of developing new best practice in acquisition. We draw on the experience we have gained on client projects, across all aspects of acquisition and at every stage in the life cycle. Our independence allows us to work as advisor to our clients; our depth of domain knowledge gives us insight to help suppliers. We have strong practical programme and change management expertise to help assure the delivery of complex programmes.

We can help with strategic risk analysis and identify improvement strategies on large-scale defence programmes. For example, PA has developed a sophisticated simulation model of acquisition performance that is proven on over 100 major development programmes to provide better insight on risks, change impacts and improvement.
