                        The purpose of the workshop had been to consider the key themes and the level of attendance, engagement and contribution had been pleasing.  Four key themes had been identified which included professional development, policy & culture and skills & talent development and Members had been clear about the importance of managing skills for the future.  The next stage would be for the Chief Officer Team to consider the themes and key priorities to ensure that they linked in with the business plans.  The Chief Officer ((People and Resources) suggested that an interim report setting out the key themes and providing an update be submitted to the 12^th February 2015 meeting of the Committee.
