Leadership Centre

We have an unrivalled track record in public service leadership development in complex environments. We pioneered, championed and embedded the notion of 'place': multi-stakeholder collaboration and relational leadership (systems thinking & living systems), using whole-place approaches within local government, carrying out high-end, bespoke, place-b... ased interventions up and down the country, working in highly political environments to make change happen. Our work on the Total Place initiative, which explored a citizen-focussed, whole-place approach to public services, mapped public sector spending nationwide and enquired into the culture changes required to truly meet citizen's needs and aspirations. We shifted the agenda so there remains an ambition for all public services, where appropriate, to be delivered in relation to people and place. We galvanized this experience to support new ways of working across the wider public sector. Addressing the challenges arising from this shift the Leadership Centre's work now supports managerial and political leaders from across the public sector learn to work together in different ways, such as in our work exploring the integration of health and social care and Systems Leadership.
