🎤 PANEL 4: Where next for public service reform?
📺 Kicking off our final panel of the Summit 👉🏻 youtube.com/live/lErJm-y1eUc
“We know what the future of public services looks like. It’s out there, it’s just not *everywhere*.
“It’s in @Demos’ report launched today.”
🗣️ @annarandle
“We need a bit of boldness and bravery, and a clear, coherent story from central government about the value of our public services.”
🗣️ @annarandle
🎤 PANEL 3: Workforce
📺 Join us online 👉🏻 youtube.com/live/lErJm-y1eUc
“If we’re genuine about liberating our services, it’s about engaging with the voice of our workforce.
“@Demos’ ask is an ask that we back - a workforce commission that designs for outcomes not outputs, and moves away from reliance on arbitrary targets.”
🗣️ @SianCElliott
“We worked closely with a small group of disempowered people and asked public servants to stick to two rules: Stay legal and do no harm.
“We used measures, not targets, to learn and improve.”
🗣️ @MarkAdamSmith on the work happening in Gateshead Council.
