Missions are all the rage! The new Government’s national missions inevitably challenge the normal siloed working of public services and the behaviours and governance processes, which have become embedded as a result of “New Public Management” ways of working.
Mayoral Combined Authorities and Councils will play a central role in the delivery of these cross-cutting national missions. Local places are now also increasingly focused on place-based missions, goals and priorities which cut across organisations and service silos.
Ed Hammond, from the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny, has highlighted that this much “messier” and necessarily “more experimental” way of working is not what our current governance arrangements and approaches were designed to support.
Our free webinar will examine the current regional devolution structures and legislative framework, the risks and challenges of the current system and what needs to change to adapt to a “messier” form of mission-based government. We will also consider what can be done right now, without waiting for further action from central government.
The session will be Chaired by Mutual Ventures Chief Executive, Andrew Laird, who will be joined by two leading experts in the field:
➡ Ed Hammond is the Deputy Chief Executive of the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny. Ed has been considering the implications of a new missions-focused governance and accountability approach.
➡ Laura Hughes is a Partner at Browne Jacobson and head of the public law team. Laura advises local authorities and Mayoral Combined Authorities on governance and risk issues.
