North East England Transformation Academy

Calling all change-makers! The Public Service Transformation Academy has launched the North East England Transformation Academy, designed for people who have to deliver transformational change in the area. 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.

Academy participants will cover key tools and techniques including: systems leadership; outcomes thinking; collaborative working; engaging communities; exploring insight and evidence; re-designing services; managing demand; mobilising assets; cultivating innovation; managing suppliers; commissioning.

In five intensive days over four months, you’ll benefit from: masterclasses; workshops; expert speakers; peer challenge; a virtual site visit; practical action planning on a project or priority; three online options; and membership of our nationwide alumni network.

Who should apply?

We’re seeking candidates 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 their ideas, assets and energy to all parts of the system.

The standard price per participant in the National Academy held in London is £2,000. The price to public service organisations for the North East England Transformation Academy will be £1,800, or £1,600 for groups of four or more participants (subject to spaces being available). All prices are per participant and exclude VAT. The first ten bookings benefit from an additional £100 discount per person.

Any organisation providing services to the public may apply. Participants usually join the academy as part of a small group from each organisation, although individuals may also apply. A group can comprise:

• a team of four or more people from the same function or area (this can include managers and their direct reports)
• a peer group of four or more senior managers drawn from across the organisation, or their partners, to join up around a specific issue
• a group of four individual candidates whose development will promote the development of organisational capability

When and where does the Academy take place?

The Academy will take place over four months starting February 2019 and June 2019. Venues are to be confirmed, with decisions based on participants’ locations and travel time.
