		Upgrading the skills of managers is fundamental to the government's aim to raise UK productivity and competitiveness.  The MSC was responsible for developing a new set of National Occupational Standards (NOS) for management and leadership in May 2004.  They describe the level of performance expected in employment for a range of management and leadership functions/activities.
		As an employer led organisation which champions management and leadership the MSC is working with the Skills for Business Network to identify and address the skills gaps and shortages on a sector by sector basis thereby contributing to the profitability of the UK.
