Britain’s productivity per capita puts the country 10th in the EU ’15’ and 15th out of 30 in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The 2006 Leitch Review of Skills emphasised that maintaining and improving this economic position will depend, above all, on how well we shape a culture and environment that encourages the development of the talent, skills and creativity of our people.The UK’s success in developing a low carbon economy will also be dependent on nurturing the talents and skills of our people.
