Spending Review
G1 Following the best practice recommendations of the Performance and Innovation Unit’s Adding it up report, we will develop an analytical strategy around PSA objectives. As a first step, we will conduct an assessment, jointly with DTI, of the evidence base supporting policy to improve the economy's productivity.
G2 To support this process, ‘Knowledge Management’ pilot projects are being run to identify effective arrangements for accessing, managing and sharing key information. Taking account of lessons learned from the pilots, we will implement the concepts across the department by 2002.
G3 The Treasury will also set targets for meeting skill gaps identified by an analysis of skills held compared to competencies needed for improving policy evaluation.
G4 To improve awareness of gender, race and disability issues in policymaking the Treasury will arrange diversity awareness training for all staff.
