The public sector is in the midst of unprecedented austere times. The challenge to be leaner, more agile and better equipped to deal with service demands has never been greater. Furthermore, the recent Spending Review, covering the period 2015/16, outlined further cuts of up to 10% for Whitehall departments and a £11.5bn reduction in public spending. It is imperative that leaders and managers put structured plans into place now that can help deliver streamlined and better performing public services for the future.

Our fifth annual Lean Government: Improving Public Sector Performance conference will explore how lean thinking can transform public sector performance, deliver efficient services, avoid duplication and better help meet customer needs. The agenda will include practical case studies covering how issues have been overcome, what lessons can be learned and how successes can be achieved from organisations who have already started the transformational journey. Delegates will learn how to involve their staff in the delivery of more efficient services, improve performance and create an environment that enables continuous improvement.
