Corporate development programmes

Corporate development programmes are designed to meet the Civil Service's corporate and strategic needs.

Our Senior Leadership Committee (SLC) identifies corporate development needs and recommends programmes to address them - using feedback from the capability reviews and the succession planning process.

The Civil Service Capability Group (CSCG) then commissions the relevant programmes, which are delivered by the National School of Government (NSG) and other providers.

Some of the corporate development programmes currently being offered are:

• Top Management Programme - designed for those in senior management positions who have the potential to reach the very highest positions in their organisations.
• Senior Civil Service (SCS) Base Camp - to welcome and orientate new entrants to the SCS, build understanding of the corporate context of leadership and outline what is expected of corporate leaders.
• The High Potential Development Scheme (HPDS) - to prepare people at director and deputy director level for the most senior jobs in the Civil Service.
