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?
As a leading provider of executive development in public services across the UK and overseas, Ashridge has partnered with the Guardian regularly to share ideas and promote new thinking in public services.
We are pleased to support the Guardian’s 7th annual Public Services Summit which will look at the threat to innovation in public services, commissioning and delivery posed by the spending crunch.
The summit does it the Ashridge way with lively, involving and interactive sessions,and hugely relevant contributions 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
- Charlie Leadbeater, founder, Participle/ author, We Think/ fellow, Nesta
- Sir Michael Bichard, director, Institute for Government
