Launching our CEO Blueprint

Launching our CEO Blueprint

We’re pleased to announce that we have launched our newest document, the CEO Blueprint.

This Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Blueprint is designed to enable CEOs to feel confident they have all the bases covered when it comes to council commerciality.

The CEO Blueprint is intended to take council CEOs in England through a need-to-know, structured, risk aware and financially sustainable approach to developing commercial initiatives.

The Blueprint covers 12 key considerations, from definition and strategy through to preventing failures and developing exit strategies. The document supports CEOs of all council types and sizes when overseeing commercial activity, irrespective of the end outcomes they are seeking to deliver. The key purpose is to maximise the chances of success.

CEO Blueprint Webinar

We launched the blueprint through a webinar and talked about the document with Adele Gritten, our CEO. Adele said:

It was fantastic to see over 100 senior council officers and Chief Executives from all over the country at our CEO Blueprint webinar, hosted in partnership with the DCN. With such great engagement from the sector, I felt very privileged to be part of this important work to help bring value and efficacy to the public sector.

Local Partnerships is here to help the public sector. Our purpose is to help public sector organisations face the ever-increasing challenge of meeting rising demands for services, with shrinking budgets. Please download the CEO Blueprint with our compliments today.
