Start honing your collaboration
skills and knowledge. You are
going to be a very valuable asset to your employer or public sector clients,
over the next few years.
The main political party manifestos
indicate that public sector collaborative transformation is not only here to
stay in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England, but likely to be
accelerated.
There are no mentions of reversing the
integration of health and social care, nor stopping the 40 potential combined
authorities and city regions. Or undoing the large tranche of blue light
multi-million pound transformations under way, or putting the hundreds of local
authority shared service projects on hold.
The evidence, from HEFCE, Audit Commission, NAO and others is that, without skilled and knowledgeable support (that means you and your SSA toolboxes!), between 50 to 70% of these accelerated collaborations could fail to deliver on the promise of their business case, and up to 33% could fail outright.

Enjoy the election (national and local)
and I look forward to seeing you on the other side!
