East Midlands Transformation Academy
East Midlands Councils and Public Service Transformation Academy have launched the East Midlands Transformation Academy, designed for people who are delivering transformational change for local communities.
The Academy will take place for five days over four months starting September, and and be hosted by East Midlands Councils in Melton Mowbray.
Participants will:
- Learn how to initiate and lead change across complex systems;
- Be part of a new regional cross-sector network;
- Develop the capabilities to transform outcomes. Download the full prospectus flyer Here
Participants learn from expert speakers on systems transformation, outcomes thinking, understanding demand and need, asset-led development, co-production, co-design, service re-design, behavioural insights, creating coaching conversations, understanding digital innovations, using data and evidence, leading across boundaries, and driving change in a political environment. Participants are supported to apply this learning to a priority area of their work.
We’re seeking participants who are committed to making a difference in key areas, keen to apply the latest thinking and approaches to realising outcomes, and eager to apply the ideas, assets and energy to all parts of the system.
The Public Service Transformation Academy is a certified social enterprise launched in 2016 to deliver the Cabinet Office Commissioning Academy to continue the Public Service Transformation Network’s knowledge transfer mission. We are a not-for-profit partnership comprising charities, social enterprises, professional networks, businesses and universities together with local, heath and civil service bodies.

- The Academy has been an absolutely wonderful learning opportunity – really enjoyable, interesting and informative. We come away from every event completely inspired and feeling very creative. It has particularly given us food for thought when mentoring our team managers and assisting them with starting new projects off and thinking about the different approaches they could take and the methodologies that they can use.
