Public services are a people business. This is true from top to bottom: the shaping force of democratic politics, the responsibility to all citizens, the care of vulnerable children and adults, and a workforce motivated by public service. 

Relationships with and between colleagues, stakeholders, and partners are what make or break the delivery of programmes and projects. Ultimately, delivery in government relies on leaders and teams who work well together in environments where they can both support and challenge each other. 

At Mutual Ventures, we advocate for the power of relationships in delivering meaningful change across public services. Our approach is grounded in the belief that successful delivery, whether implementing large-scale reorganisations or scaling innovative reforms, relies on strong, respectful relationships between partners. It is the quality of these relationships that determines project success. 

In practice, this means fostering environments that build shared accountability and ensure all voices are heard. We champion relational working practices that put human connection at the centre of project delivery, enabling teams to navigate complexity, resolve difficulties collaboratively, and achieve tangible outcomes for communities. 

In this webinar, we will explore how relationships between local and central government can unlock the potential for transformative change, sharing insights and practical strategies for leaders and teams committed to making a difference.
