The Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) dilemma

Is Local Government Reorganisation a disruptive challenge or a golden opportunity? In this episode, I explore both sides with Microsoft's Robin Denton, Director of Local Public Services.

We dive into the reality of merging technology, processes, and cultures across multiple councils - and why bringing people along on the journey might be the biggest hurdle of all.

We sat down with Paul Smith, CIO of Amnesty International, for a conversation that reveals the unique challenges facing leaders today.

And Paul offers his own unique insight and advice for success.

To run any organisation you need flexibility. Become to rigid, and you're left with little room to respond to changes or embrace new thinking. And this is the same with AI. It is not a single technology that solves a single problem. It's dynamism opens possibilities to adapt quickly, embrace new ideas, and solve problems you may not even have encountered yet. And it's with this entrepreneurial mindset that Basildon Council began it's AI journey.

In the latest episode we sit down with Shanna Chandiwana, Assistant Director for Digital, Customer, and Transformation at Basildon Council.
