ADM's fourth Defence Estate and Base Services Summit was held in Canberra on Tuesday 22 September.
 
The conference was well attended by both Defence and Industry delegates with a record number turning up to hear what was being shared by some very influential players.
 
These included Steve Grzeskowiak, Deputy Secretary of the Defence Estate and Infrastructure Group (E&IG), Leo O'Shea Director of Service Delivery with the UK MoD and Ian Maxted chief executive (defence, social and property sectors) Transfield Services - all three delivered keynote speeches.
 
Grzeskowiak said a new capability lifecycle management system was being created to be more agile, with better accountability and it would integrate fundamental inputs to capability (FICs) across the board.
 
"We need to focus on consolidation of the estate and make better use of what we have," Grzeskowiak said.
 
With regard to the forthcoming White Paper and the long term vision, he saw the E&IG's priorities as being to align policy with strategy, underpin the force structure review, recognise partnerships with industry, and have a costed affordable plan, essentially an integrated investment plan.
