Professions and Professionalism in the Civil ServiceIn recent years we've been trying to raise the profile of professions and professionalism in the Civil Service. Some civil servants - lawyers or psychologists for example - belong to professions which are externally regulated. Others such as commercial and Project, Programme and Portfolio Management (P3M) experts belong to groupings which are increasingly acquiring the trappings of a formal profession.- Ellie: "What's the plan to build #Commercial capability in depts that aren't traditionally commercial?" @BillCrothersCCO #AskCivilService

— UK Civil Service (@UKCivilService)Thu, Dec 18 2014 09:20:35 - There's a view in the CS the grass is always greener, but the Private sector isn't always brilliant... 1/3

— Bill Crothers (@BillCrothersCCO)Thu, Dec 18 2014 09:25:29 - @UKCivilService but why is it so difficult for ex-Civil servants to return to the CS? Most economist posts only open to internal candidates.
