Statement of Intent 1 July 2003 - 30 June 2004
Chief Executive's introduction
This is the first Statement of Intent produced by the Ministry of Defence. It explains the Ministry's strategic, outcome-focused approach to planning, management and reporting, and its accountability for the delivery of outputs.
Part 1, Strategic framework, describes what the Ministry does and why. It describes our high-level and intermediate outcomes, and how we measure our progress towards those outcomes. It also describes our capability and structure, and how we will improve our ability to deliver our outputs.
This part looks forward over the next three to five years, although some of the planned activities will not be completed until after that time period.
Part 2, Departmental forecast report, shows how we use our financial resources to deliver our departmental outputs.
Part 3, Non-departmental forecast report, reports on the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities which the Ministry manages on behalf of the Crown.
Graham Fortune
Secretary of Defence
