Lessons from the early application of the Land Industrial Strategy Objectives Framework (LISOF) to in-flight procurements are already informing its subsequent application and refinement as part of routine activity. Head Land Industrial Strategy, as a Standing Advisor to the Army Investment Committee (which scrutinises and approves business cases), is positioned to share best practice and offer a portfolio-level view of the LISOF impacts. In addition, industry, through its participation in the regular Land Enterprise Working Group (LEWG), has already had opportunities to review and refine the LISOF. There is currently no date planned for a formal review of the LISOF.
