The State of Texas' management development effort begins with the strong commitment of and collaboration between the Office of the Governor, the State's agencies and departments, and the private sector—all of which realize the dynamic nature of the population and economy and the subsequent impact on the demand for public services. In order to ensure the development of effective management strategies in Texas state government, a system was designed to develop and strengthen the skills of all management levels. The unique aspect of this effort has been its pervasive nature and the utilization of a multiplicity of management development strategies.
