Shared Services Conference

The Shared Service Agenda is increasingly seen as a key driver in delivering efficiencies, improving effectiveness and delivering increased customer satisfaction as well as providing opportunities for investment

It is essential that local government lawyers are seen to be at the forefront of this agenda, not only in the future delivery of legal services but across the range of local authority functions.

This conference will give you an understanding of the post election vision for public services including both the total place and shared service agendas.

It will explore structures and governance arrangements for different shared service models as well as looking at practical case studies.
