This paper looks at the ever‐increasing pace of change in modern society, and its impact on public:services. Challenges to the training and staff development function to help public services adjust to these changes in the period into the twenty‐first century are discussed. Providing means to stimulate senior officials to reflect on their work in a context broader than that of the everyday job, and ensuring a flexible, open relationship between those officials and specialised human resource professionals, are seen as essential requirements.
