Abstract
Through the lenses of Strategy and Change management academic theory this chapter presents a view of the evolution of defence acquisition using the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) as the vehicle and assesses the impact of disruptive technologies. The chapter proposes a number of changes that need to be embraced by the defence acquisition community if it is to be able to meet the needs of the nation now and in the future. The chapter concludes that the UK MOD must accept that the old model is now flawed and that in order to bring about the necessary changes a shift in mind-set is a sine qua non and that this change will take time. The envisaged way forward with a fundamental change in the way defence capability is acquired will result in a smaller, more agile and more professional organisation if, and only if, the required transformational change can be implemented effectively.
