Introduction

Much more for much less 

‘More for less’ is no longer enough for local government.  With many organisations contemplating 25% reductions in income over the next three to four years, and with demographic pressures getting worse not better, many local authority leaders and chief executives are now looking for ‘much more for much less’.

Traditional approaches to improving performance and reducing spending are quickly exhausted.  So many leaders and chief executives are rethinking the basic model of local government in order to get on the front foot. 

As a leader or a chief executive, how should you go about reconceiving your organisation for the future?  How can you get there without worsening performance, and destroying relationships with key stakeholders?  How can you give yourself the best chance of creating ‘much more for much less?’

iMPOWER has drawn on its unparalleled experience with radical new models of public services delivery, and its profound understanding of the way change works in local government, to create an approach called Future Council.  Future Council is designed to give you the best possible chance of designing, and delivering, a radical but sustainable future for your local authority.
