provided by the county council, the LCC reviewed the way it operated.

The development programme , run by people development organisation Brathay,
resulted from the review and was designed in tandem with a competency framework
to formalise the roles, responsibilities and competencies of a senior or middle
managers.

"One of the significant changes has been to promote a culture of
proactive development," said LCC chief executive Chris Trinick.
