Couldn't have asked for a better day in Sheffield yesterday hosting our second annual Reimagining the Local State Conference. Thank you so much for our brilliant speakers, including keynotes from Tracy Brabin, Oliver Coppard, and Kate Josephs CB, but many other wonderful panellists & thank you to our generous partners Sheffield City Council and Workday James Johns who made it possible & of course to everyone who attended. Finally, without being all Oscar speech about it, the Reform Think Tank team yet again hit it out the park Sylvie Macdonald Simon Kaye India Woodward Sean Eke. Yes, those *4* people delivered a whole day conference for 100 people and it was awesome #proud

Missed our RTLS conference yesterday? Policy Director Simon Kaye has reflected on his three big takeaways for our blog. 1) There's appetite in local government to try and learn from different approaches. 2) Sometimes the creative use of existing powers trumps the quest for further devolution. 3) Devolution requires a rewiring of the entire state.
Reimagining the Local State conference: a new approach?

This is the hard, geeky graft that Reform Think Tank specialises in - * how * do you do something. It’s easy coming up with broad-brush ideas, it’s much harder working out an implementation plan for achieving them. This time the excellent Joe Hill lays out a plan for what the new Office for Value for Money should do and how & if you’re not following Joe, you should be
Great to see our work featuring in Civil Service World today, where they've covered our latest report 'The price of everything'. We wrote about five target areas for the Treasury to look for better value for money in the future. The article talks about our focus on talent and performance in the civil service, a key part of our work on Whitehall Reform Think Tank. It amazes me how little scrutiny of value for money there is of the civil service, compared to how much (often unhelpfully) there is of spend on anything else. Research which Charlotte Pickles, Sean Eke and I did in May outlined that Whitehall consistently undervalues the most talented people, and also underestimates the true cost of retaining the worst performers indefinitely rather than managing them out. It's an area where the Treasury should re-evaluate its own policies to save the taxpayer money. https://lnkd.in/eSWF6Tdb

This morning I'm in City AM talking about our paper 'The price of everything', arguing that the Treasury's new Office for Value for Money should focus on cutting the most neglected areas of waste in government!
What should an office for value for money do?

London is frequently overlooked in devo discussions. This is all the more surprising given London's huge population size. In the blog this week Sean Eke has argued that London devo - and the Q of the GLA's size - can no longer be ignored.
A question of size: the case of London
