Corporate Services Modernisation (CSM) is a strategic priority for Defence and a key contributor to transforming the way MOD does business. CSM is multi-year digitally enabled transformation programme. It is focused on delivering improved HR, Finance and Commercial services across Defence, in response to the Government Shared Services Strategy (GSSS). CSM is a key enabler to deliver the Defence Command Paper 2023 and is inputting into the Strategic Defence Review and Spending Review. A CSM portfolio of programmes has been established to deliver the initiative. Phase 1 of CSM is live, with discovery, design and quick win delivery work now underway. This phase of work is being supported by a Phase 1 Delivery Partner. By March 2025 MOD will have completed the design for its future HR, Finance and commercial services.
