Defence capability and business development

JWPM provides Defence strategy, operational, marketing, capacity and capability building services. JWPM is an indispensable resource for organisations looking to develop a Defence market entry strategy, win Defence contracts and to gear-up to successfully deliver.

To become a successful Defence industry supplier - you must also develop demonstrable capacity and capability to deliver.

Defence opportunity assessment: Where there is an opportunity to become a supplier or contractor, JWPM can assist with identifying the opportunities and advising on the required steps, capital investment, and likelihood of success.

Defence strategy: assessing Defence readiness and the efficacy of the decision to invest entering the Defence supply chain. Are you ready? Do you need it? Can you fund it? and strategic planning to minimize disruption to current revenue streams while gearing up.

Capacity building: assessing and recommending how to tool up organisational, financial, operational, intellectual, IT, cultural and business development capability suitable for supply to Defence.

Integrated Management Systems: advisory and implementation services to tailor your IMS to Defence standards.

Securing business grants: The majority of grant money is available from the Centre for Defence Industry Capability (CDIC) and is aimed at developing skills, providing training, and helping to improve capability to deliver to the Australian Defence Force and overseas markets.

Grants are also available from Skilling Australia’s Defence Industry (SADI) funds to general Capability Improvement Grants.

Applying for grants is part art, part science, and mostly hard work; JWPM helps identify suitable grant programs and provides the heavy lifting required to write grants.

We provide marketing and profile building tailored to the unique way Defence views the commercial world, building maturity in Defence project capture planning, business opportunity project tracking and pipeline management.

Bid strategy and bid preparation: complete end-to-end services to assist companies to strategize, write, and present formal bids written to conform to Defence procurement standards.

Industry partnerships and strategic alliances: With the Department of Defence aiming to achieve greater levels of local content and to play a role in developing a well-trained and sophisticated domestic industry base, finding suppliers capable of meeting its complex needs will require developing a high level of collaboration maturity.

JWPM provides advice on developing practices, cultures and systems to ensure your organisation has the necessary qualities to partner with Australian Defence.
