The ability to successfully navigate change within the public sector at a local and national level is essential if services are to accurately meet the evolving needs of the public, and reflect the dynamic demands of political policy. With reforms rolling out across the public sector – including within local government, welfare, policing, and health and social care – and plans for significant change within the civil service recently revealed, the efficient management of projects and programmes has never been more important. In the additional context of tightened budgets, public sector managers are faced with the challenge of developing innovative interventions that can increase quality whilst also delivering substantial savings.

Managing Change offers the opportunity to hear from a high-profile panel of speakers with personal experience of leading innovative and successful change initiatives at varying scales across the public sector. Delegates will receive practical advice and inspiration from a range of best practice examples, which can be drawn upon to inform their own work.
