JL2 Defence Services has teamed with Beca Australia to establish a consolidated Change Management Program and an end-to-end governance, risk management and reporting framework for Defence Fuel Supply Chain (DFSC), part of Defence Logistics Command. The framework is a vital transformation initiative to manage, measure and control the health of the DFSC as part of the Joint Logistics Command and Joint Capabilities Group risk and performance reporting framework.

The success of the project has put in place enabling capability for the Commander Joint Logistics to achieve the primary objectives for the DFSC: specifically, delivering bulk fuels safely, in full and on time, in an efficient and sustainable manner to meet the Defence Capability Manager’s requirements.

The JL2 Project Team worked jointly with the various Defence Fuel Services Branch (DFSB) Directorates; Policy and Governance, Supply, Operations, Engineering and Finance and Shared Services, to understand how they operated and interacted with internal and external DFSB stakeholders. JL2 conducted an extensive change readiness assessment in preparation for the significant organisation change ahead. This was subsequently endorsed by CJLOG for the establishment of a Strategic Change Program to be run by JL2. The development of a Functional Delegations Report highlighted all issues and concerns from a current state perspective and enabled the Project Team to build a concept for the future state framework from which an implementation roadmap was developed.

Endorsed at the command level, this key initiative assisted the DFSB Transformation Program to drive key outcomes focused on a commonly agreed, visible, traceable and assured functional baseline and is now aligned with the strategic change program.
