The Management Board provides corporate and management leadership to BIS in delivering the policies and services decided by Ministers.

The main functions of the Board are to ensure that we deliver our objectives and Public Service Agreement targets, monitor departmental performance, manage resource, and assess and manage risk. The Management Board will not consider specific policy issues.
