The summit examined the future of public services and the next steps in mixed service provision, in particular:

  • The opportunities for government to work with the private, public and voluntary sectors to drive productivity in public services
  • Issues of public procurement in the context of the next wave of government efficiencies and the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review
  • The private sector’s role in delivering public service excellence
  • The future possibilities of ‘mixed’ service provision
  • How to meet the needs of users and incorporate their opinions in the design and delivery of services
  • Best practice in partnership working between the 3 sectors - public, private and voluntary

BIE presented to the session on ‘Management exchange between the private and public sectors’ chaired by Dr William Moyes (Exec. Ch. Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts). Stuart Cain described the role that senior interim executives are playing in leading major change programmes in Central Government Departments, Agencies and NDPBs. He went on to outline the specific advantages of interims namely: prior experience in the particular situation being confronted, knowledge of ‘industry best practice’, instant credibility as a leader, objectivity, focus on delivery and a planned exit.
