Modernising MOD commercial operations through strategic talent deployment

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) sought to modernise its commercial operations to better support technology-driven innovation programmes. The organisation required specialists capable of delivering agile, outcomes-focused commercial services to accelerate defence procurement and operational efficiency.

The MOD faced several challenges: 

• Transforming commercial functions to enable faster, more effective programme delivery 
• Deploying specialists with both subject matter expertise and the ability to work flexibly within complex, bureaucratic structures 
• Delivering measurable outcomes across multiple high-priority, technology-driven initiatives 

Investigo delivered a fully managed service, providing commercial advice, strategic support, and operational delivery: 

• Designed a new Commercial Delivery Model tailored to drive innovation, efficiency, and scalability 
• Deployed 26 security-cleared commercial consultants across multiple programmes 
• Empowered specialists to apply adaptive thinking, cutting through red tape and delivering aligned solutions 
• Embedded a culture of innovation and outcomes-focused delivery across MOD operations 

The project achieved: 

• Design and implementation of a Commercial Delivery Model to scale innovation programmes 
• Expansion of services to five major MOD commands 
• Introduction of innovative commercial practices reducing procurement timelines and improving delivery outcomes 
• Strengthened cross-departmental efficiency and strategic commercial capability
