Information on the CIPFA Solutions change management service
Why change management is relevant to the public sector
Local Government does not stand still. Responding to challenges and opportunities is a constant requirement. Effective change management supports the evidence-based diagnosis of the situation, the informing of the optimum response and the delivery of impactful and sustainable change.
What CIPFA has to offer in support of the public sector on change management
CIPFA Solutions recognise that responses to change need to be bespoke and outcome focussed. Therefore the best response to change can vary from Council to Council. Across CIPFA Solutions we offer support to assist you with your change programme. We work collaboratively across the CIPFA Solutions suite of services to find a best fit for your needs.
