"In the private sector, decisions are made with due diligence but quickly. Stakeholders align, mobilise and move projects forward apace. Usually, there is a financial imperative to do so.

Public sector structures often hinder progress. Siloed working, capacity constraints and a culture of caution often slow progress.

With local government reform on the horizon, we can't afford to wait..."
