Well it’s the morning after the day before and I feel compelled to thanks the CFN staff (esp Bev), speakers, panellists and everyone that attended our conference. It was a blast! The nicest, furious bunch you’ll ever meet. Keep an eye out for a conf summary soon Changing Futures Northumbria

1/3 Great to attend ⁦Changing Futures Northumbria⁩ Liberated Method conference today- and hear ⁦Mark Adam Smith⁩ explain how Gateshead Local Authority provided ‘air cover’ for their relational work to develop.

On way to Gateshead to this w/Mark Adam Smith ✨ Donna Hall ✨ and 250 fellow changemakers - there's no more room in the inn and the speed at which this event sold out speaks volumes about how many want to make radical change in our public service systems changingfuturesnorthumbria.co.uk/Liberating-Pub…

Two days to go till our inaugural Liberating Public Services Conference - we've been overwhelmed by the response to this; there's clearly an appetite for relational public services.

This quote from ✨ Donna Hall ✨ summarises why the time is right for #RadicalPlaceLeadership . Only proper collaboration (all the way down to the frontline) will deliver better outcomes for people. This is also now the only way to sustainable public services finances.

To say we've been overwhelmed by the interest in this event in such a short time would be an understatement. Huge thank you to everyone who's registered so far.

More wisdom from Bryony. Completely with her on this, to the point where having purposeful conversations with those we help is becoming as much of a rule to us as not doing harm and staying within the law.
