Public service reform and transformation

How to secure improved outcomes at less cost will be the challenge facing councils and other public service organisations over the next eight years.

We supported two of the Total Place pilots, including providing the project director for Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole.

Our top tips for successful place-based working and community budgeting type project are:

  • Keep it clear (if not simple);
  • Buy-in is everything;
  • Maintain the momentum;
  • Create space for ambition.

Drawing on our Total Place and related experience we have a team of consultants able to support local transformation projects, particularly those which cross organisational and geographic boundaries.

We also have expertise in specific areas including:

  • Reviews of library and other cultural services;
  • The introduction of neighbourhood management arrangements.
