We work with senior public sector figures at national and local level to ensure place by place our public services can overcome the challenges we face, together
Through immersive learning experiences, exposure to varied places & perspectives, & cross-sector conversations, Future Vision challenges senior leaders to think differently about themselves, their organisations & the systems they serve. Watch Will's story:

Future Vision creates opportunities for leaders to step outside their usual contexts, learn alongside peers from different sectors & regions and think differently about the challenges ahead. We’re now welcoming expressions of interest for the next cohort:

Leadership is complex, especially when the challenges facing communities don’t fit within organisational boundaries. Future Vision gives senior leaders space to connect & explore leadership through a systems lens. Sarah Morgan reflects on the programme:

This week marked the final session of the latest Boosting Middle Leaders programme, which we deliver in collaboration with @LGAcomms. Councillors & officers came together to explore real system challenges, leadership, collaboration & change.
How do you apply leadership learning when it really matters? Rachel Dukes from Leeds City Council shares how a Leadership Centre & @OHID programme shaped the confidence, perspective & new approach she brought into a successful interview for a new role. 👇 https://t.co/NuaNTIPNRw
Fantastic to see both cohorts grow in confidence, perspective and connection throughout the programme. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible & congratulations to all participants.
We’re delighted to celebrate our first 2 cohorts completing the Developing Strategic Leaders programme in the South West & South East. Created through a collaboration between us & @Solace_UK, the programme supports emerging senior leaders to lead confidently in complex systems.
Delighted to see this kind of feedback. Two cohorts of our Developing Strategic Leaders programme, run in collaboration with @Solace_UK, concluded this week across the South East & South West. Great to see such open, thoughtful groups reflecting, challenging & learning together
Across the Atlantic and looking to the future!
Our Future Vision Cohort is in Boston this week exploring leadership through a global lens. From innovation & civic leadership to AI, health equity & organisational change, the visit is designed to challenge thinking & build insight.
In this LGC podcast, @MKMRogers (now Associate Director with us) shares what it takes to make strategic authorities work. One principle is focusing on what we have in common to prioritise what will make the biggest difference, soonest. Well worth a listen: https://t.co/uzZQJ5U2PG

Thank you to all our contributors and hosts who shaped honest, stretching conversations. As we look ahead to our next module in Boston, USA, the question stays with us: how do we use power responsibly, relationally and courageously?
Last week our Future Vision participants gathered in Birmingham to explore power, relationships & cultural competence, and to reflect on what it means to be a 21st Century Public Servant. Over 3 days we explored how power operates in systems & how theory translates into practice.
This wasn't traditional training. It was co-designed, applied learning rooted in real place challenges, reaching 500 staff & reshaping how leaders work across boundaries & approach LGR. Get in touch if you'd like to have a conversation to learn more: [email protected]
What does it really take to become a community council in practice, not just in principle? At a moment of significant uncertainty, @TestValleyBC invested in a bold, whole-organisation leadership journey to shape a genuinely community-led future. Read more: https://t.co/BkjyYzSM4h
We explored systems leadership, member and officer relationships, and resilience, with rich and open discussion throughout. Thank you to Shokat Lal, Chief Executive of @sandwellcouncil, for sharing such honest insights into the realities of leading a council.
The fourth cohort of Boosting Middle Leaders, run in collaboration with the @LGAcomms, is underway. An impressive group of councillors and officers coming together to step back from day to day pressures and reflect on what leadership is asking of us right now.
