The Defence Business Readiness Tool (DBRT) allows small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to:
- assess readiness against industry best practices
- understand what it means to be 'Defence ready'
- prioritise actions to help grow Defence business capability.
DBRT is hosted in a secure cloud environment and meets Australian Government Information Security Manual security requirements.
Eligibility
To receive support or advisory services from ODIS, businesses must:
- create an account on the DBRT
- be an Australian SME
- have an Australian Business Number (ABN).
Assessment process
After creating an account, SMEs can commence their assessment by answering an initial set of 21 questions
Responses will generate an initial snapshot that triggers an ODIS support or advisory service, based on the capability alignment, strengths, and areas for improvement.
The initial assessment is based on the following categories:
- Market understanding and communications
Identify and validate opportunities, aligning to Defence needs, and developing a value proposition. - Confidence in delivery
Accepting work, following standards, continuous improvement, materials, equipment, and labour. - Strategic outlook
Business strategy, culture and values, market diversity, financial viability, risk management and business continuity. - Product and offering development
Delivery strategies, innovation and research and development, and collaboration.
