Abstract: In October 2010, the UK Secretary of State for Defence announced a process to transform defence to meet the challenges of the future. This process set out a series of complex decisions, including the future location for defence technical training. Five months after the announcement, the Defence Technical Training Change Programme (DTTCP) team contacted Catalyze to request support for the DTTCP decision-making process. The team recognised that this would be an important and highly sensitive process, and would need to deliver efficiencies while improving the overall value delivered by defence technical training. Catalyze used decision conferencing and multicriteria decision analysis to help the DTTCP team and stakeholders understand the challenges and reach agreement on a solution. In July 2011, the Secretary of State for Defence announced the recommended location and the migration plan for the three branches of military service to consolidate specific technical training services into a single site.
