Questions to address through experience sharing:

  • Delivering “more for less” is now business critical. What are the most promising short, medium and long term ideas for delivering ever better services for citizens and business?
  • How can transformational government help to improve the current economic situation?
  •  Is the evolving environment likely to encourage or discourage collaboration between local authorities and across sectors?
  •  How are Councils preparing for increasing uncertainty, in terms of business planning and service provision?
  •  Does the darkening economic environment include any silver linings?
