The Challenge
Competing resource demands amidst a highly complex operating environment (‘too much demand too little resource’) set within the politically charged atmosphere of a Strategic Defence Review. Those circumstances create the perfect environment for simplistic decisions based on limited data.
Providing a fully auditable and transparent view of the impact of decision-making on the Ministry of Defence Strategic Command’s £7 billion budget.
Very few organisations encounter the same level of public and political scrutiny over their procurement processes as the Ministry of Defence. The MoD’s Strategic Command faces:
More than 400 programmes competing for funding
Too much demand, too little resource
Almost unfathomable quantities of data
A highly political decision-making environment of Strategic Defence Reviews
The Solution
A white-label version of eamli simplifies MoD’s complex decision-making processes in several ways. These include:
Data-driven Decisions - eamli rapidly analyses more of the MoD’s data than even the most diligent procurement team could hope to achieve in a lifetime. The result is decisions that are grounded in a level of data analysis that would previously have been impossible.
Depoliticising Decisions - MoD procurement teams have the validation of eamli’s decision-making algorithm to support their decision.
Testing Outcomes - With multiple simulations being tested at the same time, the MoD can explore several approaches and outcomes in a secure sandbox before committing to a final decision.
Connected Thinking - No decision is made in complete isolation. Even the smallest decision can be made in accordance with the MoD’s wider budgetary objectives.
Making Better Decisions Faster - With huge quantities of data crunched and various hypothetical scenarios played out almost instantly, eamli gives MoD procurement teams the insights and time they need to make better decisions. That means the most effective investment of budgets across the 400-plus defence programmes under consideration.
The outcome
Full optimisation of Strategic Commands £7 billion budget, and rationalising its c£9Bn worth of ambition! Enabling full money-saving features which are being utilised within the department on a daily basis.
Due to the success of the scheme, eamli is now being considered for wider, cross-Government uses.
