Editor's note
=============
Business leaders can surely not have failed to get the
message that investing in staff development is the key to
business competitiveness this week. Last week at the CBI
Conference in Birmingham, the Confederation and Chancellor
Gordon Brown both cited increasing Britain's skills levels
as our best strategy to compete on the global stage in a
climate of outsourcing. Read what Gordon Brown had to say
about the UK skills challenge:

While today, marking the start of Investors in People Week,
the IIP is calling on business leaders to develop staff if
they are to meet their own ambitious productivity targets.
