THEME: THE STATE OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT—IMPROVEMENT AND INNOVATION

Learning to Improve: Approaches to Improving Local Government Services

&
Pages 19-26 | Published online: 15 Mar 2010
 

Both Conservative and Labour government reforms of the past 25 years have implied an understanding of organizational change and learning. The contexts, changes and sharing of good practice in local government during this period are discussed in general and through an analysis of the Beacon Council Scheme. The scheme has many achievements to celebrate. Its progress, however, depends on the generic need in public service change to develop an holistic framework which embraces all forms of learning, improvement, innovation and change so that sustainable long-term value can be gained for all stakeholders.
