Inside Defra: how the
renewed department works Defra, November 2009 This document sets out the business model adopted by the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Based on a portfolio of policy programmes and 'ongoing activities', and with all staff working in a flexible resourcing system, Defra's model marks a radical break with traditional government structures, with improved value for the public at its heart. Produced for Defra's staff, and free of jargon, Inside Defra explains flexible staff resourcing, career homes, the policy cycle, portfolio and performance management, policy programmes, the role of the Board and directors/SROs, and other key parts of the business model.

Multi-tasking Methodology Ruth Keeling, Civil Service World, 10 September 2009 Download: see link below Defra has taken a leap into the unknown and abandoned the directorate structure that characterises Whitehall.

Commerce,
In 2003,
the Government asked Sir Christopher Kelly to consider what could
be
done to increase competition and long term planning in markets where
government possesses significant purchasing power. The Kelly Review
identified ways
in which the public sector could get better at planning its
procurements and
communicating its needs to industry in a way that best uses available
capacity
within markets and enables industry to respond effectively,
innovatively, and ensuring value for money.
