'The Place Agenda Unwrapped' is about to begin.
Today we're exploring some of the biggest changes reshaping public services and what it will take to turn ambition into lasting change. Thanks to @ArcadisUK for sponsoring today's event and hosting us today.
#PlaceUnwrapped
What really stands in the way of place-based working?
Jonathan Carr-West, Chief Exec of LGiU challenges us to look beyond structures & ask how power, incentives and institutional behaviours can keep us trapped in "pilot limbo" rather than enabling lasting change.
#PlaceUnwrapped
A fantastic day at #PlaceUnwrapped, exploring what it takes to unlock the full potential of place-based leadership & create conditions for lasting change.
Thanks to our speakers & everyone who contributed so openly throughout the day. Let's keep the conversation going...
