Introduction from Steven Pleasant Chief Executive of Tameside Council and Chair of iNetwork

With further budgets reduction likely in the next Spending Review and whether the challenge is troubled families, rising dementia costs, gang crime or youth reoffending, it is clear that a new generation of partnerships between central, local and charitable sector agencies are needed.

This one day event provides will cover a range of areas including:

• The business case for collaboration
• Information as a strategic asset
• Systems thinking and practice
• Collaboration as a strategic capability
• Bringing together people and cultures effectively
• National Government initiatives
• Successful models of collaboration

I hope that you will join us at this event which brings together experts, innovators and good practice to help you tackle the knotty issue of how to build sound, fruitful partnerships.
