Join us to lean about the complexity of achieving public outcomes

I shared a story about a family everyone knew—noise complaints, domestic abuse, antisocial behaviour, then suddenly… silence. Did the system work? That’s the kind of complexity we explore in the Outcomes in Complexity Level 7 Systems Thinking Practitioner apprenticeship. Final funded cohort starts soon—message me if you’d like to join. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_join-us-to-lean-about-the-complexity-of-achieving-activity-7386295408978788352-elXA?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAACuq-oBecVFDW6PCf3lkoG-peMeuLBeoho

Introducing the RedQuadrant Local Government Reorganisation hub

Local Government Reorganisation is coming fast. By April 2028, every new authority must be safe, legal, and fully operational. That means statutory officers secured, ICT cutovers rehearsed, services live, and residents experiencing seamless continuity. The RedQuadrant LGR Hub is the only model that guarantees readiness while embedding lasting capability. With a single accountable structure, governance at its core, and capability pillars across adults, children’s, SEND, ICT, finance, housing, and place, the Hub ensures no gaps, no surprises. Three outcomes, every time: Safe and legal on day one; Visible assurance and confidence in delivery; Future-ready capacity with transformation built in.
