The Guardian Public Services Summit 2010
Author: The Guardian - Feb 4, 2010
Localis are delighted to partner with The Guardian at their upcoming Public Services Summit in February. Please see below for further details:
Getting through but getting better
The challenging years ahead call for innovation, new ideas and fresh thinking. However, faced with cuts to budgets, growing demand for services, an election and demands for increased accountability, how can we ensure innovation in public services thrives?
At the Guardian’s 7th annual Public Services Summit they will look at the threat to innovation in public services, commissioning and delivery posed by the spending crunch and learn lessons from key thinkers, practitioners and experts including:
- The Rt Hon Paul Martin, former Prime Minister, Canada
- Phillip Blond, Director, ResPublica
- Andrew Hudson, Managing Director (public services and growth directorate), HM Treasury
- Mike Freer, Leader, London Borough of Barnet
- Charlie Leadbeater, founder, Participle/ author, We Think/ fellow, Nesta
- Sir Michael Bichard, Director, Institute for Government
