Managing Change: Transforming Public Services will support public sector organisations reshape how services are delivered in order to drive improvement with further spending cuts due in public spending.
The rules of change and transformation are being rewritten. The change agenda is no longer built on top-down leadership or project managing time and budgets. There is new thinking with a growing focus on service user and staff engagement, agile ways of working and encouraging disruptive ideas. It is also more complex with the impacts of austerity meaning that organisations are having to navigate ever turbulent environments and challenging demands. Ahead of the autumn spending review Chancellor George Osborne has tasked government departments to plan further reductions in their budgets by 2019-20 in a bid to find an additional £20bn savings in public spending. Given the context it is also more prevalent than ever with managers and professionals expected to engage and drive change on a day-to-day basis. This event will focus on how to actually make change happen, from breaking down cultural barriers to improving outcomes for service users.
Join us at Managing Change: Transforming Public Services for the opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners from across the public sector with invaluable knowledge and experience of leading change initiatives at both local and national scale. Delegates will receive practical advice and inspiration from a range of real-life examples from public and private sector sources to help lead on change management and service improvement.

To sustain or even enhance services in the current (and future) financial environment means stepping away from traditional and perceived models and delivering real innovation, redesign and a total focus on exactly what public service customers – tax-paying residents – want. Councils are often on a journey from improvement to transformation to innovation, and can be in different places in different service areas at any one time. This reflects the complex nature of local services, with different communities and political priorities across the country. However iESE projects across the country have identified that whatever stage they are at, the options and opportunities for most councils are similar: Level 1: Departmental-level change Level 2: Transactional-level change Level 3: Demand-level change Where is your organisation? And where should you be going next?
