Abstract
Civil service reform in developing countries may be inhibited unless a more culturally appropriate concept of management is developed. An Institutional Development Framework (IDF) may assist in the identification of possible reform strategies. A strategy is defined by a series of inter‐linked management and organisational components to each of which may be attached aims, values and/or skills enhancement ideas. Senior managers of the service should be responsible for drafting and reviewing the IDF as a shared learning experience. The IDF concept resulted from a study of civil service reform in the Solomon Islands.
