Invigorating the public sector revolution

Devolution, mergers between councils, shared services, shifting services online and delivering a digital experience for the masses...it’s all drastically altering the world as we know it.

Our report, 'Invigorating the public sector revolution', in partnership with Solace, highlights people, culture and leadership as being not only key barriers but also enablers of this change.

Three imperatives for managing this radical change effectively were identified:

Everyone is a leader
Constant evolution
Light touch rules.

Don’t work in today’s space, work towards the future vision.
Trevor Holden, Chief Executive Officer, Luton Borough Council
