Having completed further analysis over the last week or so, specifically looking at creative problem solving techniques and organisational culture, as well as having received feedback on my EBI from TMA 1, I have come to the conclusion that my original concept of using the EBI to reflect on the broad series of change initiatives affecting the Maritime Reserve is probably too unwieldy and nebulous for me to demonstrate that I have been able to make positive changes due to the applications of ideas from B716. Therefore, I am refocusing my EBI onto the major changes the RMR need to be make which are going to be under my control. Thus, my new 100 word proposal is:

The Royal Marines Reserve (RMR) has to redefine its capability due to changes the Royal Marines (RM) are making in response to the SDSR. The RM has to shrink in size, meaning that certain capabilities will be at greater risk. However, by changing the structure of the RMR, in terms of rank and specialism’s, the risk to the RM can be mitigated. Nevertheless, the delivery of this change will be challenging, as it will be complicated by a reduction in regular RM support to the RMR which means that at least one RMR HQ and 7 Detachments will be closing.
