12. John Wood, Chief Executive. Hertfordshire County Council
"In these challenging times for the public sector, our success is
totally dependent on the commitment and dedication of the
talented people who work here. We couldn't meet our targets for
savings, service improvement and organisational change without
making the most of their potential and we couldn't do that
without the learning and development team. They've made a
significant contribution to our transformation programme by
supporting us to do things differently to build our capacity
through a range ground breaking programmes that have a clear
focus on outcomes for the organisation".
