Case Study of the Public Sector Competitive Model

Abstract

Various elements of the public sector employ circa 10,000 people mainly throughout the UK. They have annual budgets in excess of £1 billion and have their own strategic aims and HR strategies, although they can also be subject to more general, directed initiatives such as central government Capability Review. This case study has been put together from four public sector case studies, none of which wished to be included in the publication, but all of which had sufficient in common to allow this generalised, anonymous blend to be put forward as ‘the public sector competitive model’ as it has appeared to recur on numerous occasion in one format or another and has something considerable to add to the talent management debate.
