18. London Futures challenge 52 senior staff from 24 boroughs and other organisations participated in London futures challenge. A group of six present the outcomes to an awayday of 26 of London’s chief executives on 4 March 2010 We presented a simulated landscape of 2012 where significant cuts had already taken place, to get participants thinking about the more radical steps required for 2015. Materials included information about a fictional borough and media stories to set London and national context .
19. London Futures challenge We used design insights to explore the task Leading public design agencies provided ‘one hour rapid design workshops’ to inspire creative thinking. They offered a number of tools and led interactive sessions. Illustrations of design methods: use of recorded ethnographic stories of people and their encounters with public services to get to ‘whole systems thinking Looking for inspiration on ‘more for less’ in Tate gallery – in art works (taking away creates something new) and in institution eg membership scheme and engagement

Notes de l'éditeur
“ A deal with Londoners, founded on honest dialogue about what services should be being provided and by what mechanism. Coupled to this shift in responsibility is radical market making: bold experiments in increasing civic ownership and social enterprise. This will be delivered in the context of improved London governance, and with a crucial focus on the development of the London public manager and improved shared management of London’s talent.” “ We’ll take you through each idea in turn, and then there will be opportunity to look at the ideas in more detail in the groups, to pull them apart, test them, develop them and shape what will be worked up for the next stage… “ Before handing over to the first of those, and by way of a wrap-up of the general remarks, I would emphasise the energy and impetus that all of the sessions generated about the need to grab hold of the situation that we are facing and to pull it apart and start working on solutions and preparations for the long-term future ahead. In 2015 there will be a different group of Chief Executives meeting to discuss the collaborative vision for London’s public services, and they may well look back to 2010 and reflect on how well prepared public service has been to weather the storms, transform the relationship with the public, and to deliver for London. “ You’ve seen the product of the deliberation, and it is a genuinely collaborative decision as to the four propositions that we have refined and which we present to you now. We trust that we will do justice to the Collaborative’s thinking, and that it provides you with a stimulating discussion about how we are going to go forward. “ And without further ado… [introduce the order… and then the first presenter.]”
The London based partnerships layer of this diagram has been added to better represent the complexity of the governance structure. Partnerships have been included where there is active representation from CELC. In doing this it is not possible to include all representation of information, advice or guidance flow (by the use of arrows) that takes place.
