Abstract



This paper, based on a parliamentary submission, presents the results of a root cause analysis into the Department’s performance over the past 5 years, since the initiation, in 1999, of what became the Defence 2000 White Paper. The analysis identifies the organisational culture of ‘groupthink’, in its institutionalised form, as being at the root of the ailments that have plagued the Department in the past to the present day. It concludes that this ‘institutionalised groupthink’ culture will continue to be at the root of what ails Defence into the future until appropriately treated.
