Recommendation (the committee's words)
Boosting SME productivity depends on improving management capability. At present, support for management training has been fragmented and inconsistent. The Government should now set out a clear strategy to significantly expand access to high-quality management programmes and drive nationwide uptake among small businesses. (Conclusion, Paragraph 124)
