4: Organisational Capability

Achieve this Vision through a capable, flexible organisation

Other Information:

The National Archives continues to aim to deliver a highly ambitious strategy at a time of tight financial constraints and increasing environmental awareness. We are meeting the digital challenge, which means dealing with digital content as well as paper. And we have taken responsibility for raising standards across the information and archive sector, which can, at times, be resource intensive, but which we believe is critical to the future of The National Archives. To achieve this, we must support our staff properly in developing new knowledge and skills during aperiod of rapid and profound change. Having identified the key skills and behaviours needed to deliver The National Archives’ Vision, we are now investing in staff development programmes at all levels of the organisation to embed them, ensuring that we build on the existing high levels of motivation and engagement. And we are also working to ensure that we maintain the high levels of trust that our users already have in our services by continuing to develop our support services, including our facilities and environmental controls.
