Effective Service Redesign & Reform

The full iNetwork programme for 2017-18 is available HERE

A facilitative network which aims to support local public service organisations to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of customers, patients and communities, in the context of the reform of public services and the pressure on resources

The ESR2 programme supports service transformation, policy, OD, QIPP, programme office and change managers to progress service reform in priority areas. We offer access to free, practical and appropriate advice and support from peers, Government programme and policy leads and subject matter experts, plus opportunities to see new methods and technologies that support service redesign and review them alongside peers.

ESR2 Chair’s Introduction

As ever, we’re working in a fastmoving environment, with a mixture of major challenges and great opportunities. Our ability to influence and drive national developments could be limited over the coming year as government capacity is focussed on delivering Brexit – but this may also present us with the chance to make real progress on local and regional priorities, particularly those aligned to the devolution regional mayors’ agendas.

Many partners have indicated that they’re at a tipping point in their transformation programmes – unless they can deliver real change on ground, across systems, it will be hard to maintain capacity and make meaningful progress. The ESR2 programme has a vital role to play – by supporting genuine, high-impact change that can help to deliver increased productivity, by stimulating creativity and innovation, and by helping our members to provide visible, effective leadership that supports public service reform.
