Place-based partnerships and teams
Putting the human back at the heart of public services.
Case studies
We need to put the human back at the heart of public services, bring services together around the realities of people’s lives and focus on what will enable them to thrive. We are transformation partners to local authorities, services, NHS organisations, civil society organisations and partnerships who want to shift public services towards collaborative ways of working, helping to change organisational thinking, culture and practice.
