LP & ACES Series: Transformation Series – Collaborating to deliver more – Part 1

In the world in which councils operate, property professionals have a critical role to play in shaping future organisations.

This lunchtime webinar series brings together leading voices from across the sector to explore how property teams can navigate change, strengthen capability, seize new opportunities and deliver lasting value for communities.

Drawing on practical experience from local government and beyond, each session will combine expert insights, real-world examples and an interactive discussion on the issues that matter most to property leaders today.

Devolution, Local Government Reorganisation and wider public sector reform are creating new opportunities to think differently about public assets. This session will explore how councils can work more effectively with partners across the public sector to support better places, better services and better outcomes for communities. Drawing on real-world examples, the panel will consider how collaboration can unlock opportunities that may not be achievable by organisations working alone.

• How devolution, public sector reform and Local Government Reorganisation are changing opportunities for estate collaboration.
• What successful place-based estate strategies have in common.
• How councils can build productive relationships with public sector partners.
• The barriers that commonly prevent collaboration and how they can be overcome.
• How property leaders can help shape a shared vision for public assets.

What you’ll gain:

Examples of collaborative approaches from across the public sector, together with practical insights into how property teams can maximise opportunities arising from organisational and place-based reform.
