The Top 200 was set up in March 2006 as the corporate leadership group for the Civil Service. It’s made up of the most senior Civil Service leaders, permanent secretaries and director generals. The purpose of the group is to improve public services, deliver government business and build a strong Civil Service. It meets every six months to share best practice and find solutions to cross-cutting issues - especially those identified by the capability reviews.
Underpinning these meetings are a number of Top 200 ‘taskforces’ which push forward some of the key challenges facing the Service. These include:
- risk
- induction
- performance management
- diversity
- board effectiveness
- transformational change
