• Creating a culture of innovation in public sector and government organisations
• How Covid forced Dorset to change both the way it operates as an organisation and the transformation in delivering services for citizens.
• Building on the acceleration of change in the public sector moving into the future.
• What the future working model for Dorset Council's teams looks like.
• Tackling social and economic challenges to support recovery and growth.
• Using inter-agency collaboration and partnerships with suppliers to deliver more effective outcomes in public services.
