The English Local
Government Association has commissioned us to update its shared service map. On
Monday, we emailed all the councils in England inviting them to update their
data.
If you are responsible for a council led shared service (the other partners do
not need to be councils) and you have not had an invitation from us to update,
or enter, your services on the LGA Shared Services Map you can find the brief
questionnaire (about 10mins per service) here http://www.sharedservicearchitects.co.uk/LGA-Map-2016
We have also released the spring dates for the Collaborative Transformation Practitioner programme in Cambridge, Reading, Manchester and Leicester.
Here is the
collaboration news for the last 7 days…
