• Ownership and responsibility empowerment on the part of staff 
  e.g. Performance Indicators 6 and  7
• Evaluation 
  e.g. Performance Indicators 9 and 10 – much more emphasis quantification of improvement as a result of learning & development initiatives (9) and continual improvement as a result of evaluation (10).
