Business-like and demand-led. The best BDS organisations at supporting MSE are like those MSE in terms of their people, systems and values.
· Sustainability - the need to look for innovative ways to encourage the long term delivery of BDS.
· Tailoring is essential through focus on clients' needs.
· Participatory approaches to the design and implementation of BDS.
· Maximising outreach is essential and provides need to develop imaginative ways of achieving this.
· Building on demonstrated initiative - where possible build on what is already there rather than impose from outside.
· Split and focus delivery - i.e. stick to the knitting' and avoid trying to deliver a range of different services and products.
· Systematic approaches and programme integration. Focus in a project does not deny the need for strategic awareness and effective networking between providers.
· Renewed focus on cost analysis.
· Continued importance of impact assessment and evaluation.
· Subsiduarity - complement the role and activities of others including the state.
