Catch up on our live webinar Radical Place Leadership: Getting the governance and accountability right, held on Tuesday 15th October 2024.
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.
The webinar examined the current regional devolution structures and legislative framework, the current system's risks and challenges, and what needs to change to adapt to a “messier” form of mission-based government - as well as considering what can be done right now, without waiting for further action from central government.
The session was Chaired by Mutual Ventures Chief Executive, Andrew Laird, who was 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.
