Meeting the challenges ahead
To meet the challenges the UK faces, DTI has developed a strong
strategic direction and a culture that delivers on its promises,
by focusing on its customers, developing policy based on rigorous
analysis of the evidence, ensuring value for money and striving
for continuous improvement.
We are doing this through:
- The DTI Strategy
We have sharpened our focus and developed a strategy based on
rigorous analysis of the UK's economic and productivity
performance
- Greater customer focus
We are improving the support we offer business and streamlining
our operations to take the DTI to its customers
- Making our services easier to access
DTI customers will find the information and services they need
more easily through initiatives such as businesslink.gov.uk - a
cross-government website that will give businesses access to
information and support
- Developing and valuing our people
An accredited Investor in People, we are committed to making the
DTI a great place to work. We are developing and valuing a diverse
workforce, who can bring the right skills in the right place to
deliver on our objectives

view, but we are clearly focused on helping business meet the
challenges of the changing modern economy."

external recruitment and have 21 talented independent members on
our boards drawn from a range of business, voluntary sector, trade
unions and academic backgrounds
- Commitment to continuous improvement
We are committed to continuing the process of improvement in
everything we do, working hand in hand with our stakeholders,

prosperity for all
