dvla logoDVLA drives forward

"We wanted people to see that managing people is not just a process and a checklist of skills. Individuals need to know that it's much more about 'what I need to do to improve myself so that I interact more effectively with other people'.

This insight informed DVLA's approach to managing a major change programme. The organisation recognised that both leadership excellence and stream-lined organisational design were key components for its organisational change effort.
