This project will see our discipline build on the improvements made as part of GCS2020, with a more fundamental reshaping process.

These plans, put forward by GCS Executive Director Alex Aiken, aim to sustain a world-leading communications function to serve the nation.

The initial phase of the project started in July 2020.
