Leaner, greener, keener - insights and inspiration on delivering change in UK public sector

In recent years, IBM has published three sets of essays from public sector leaders on delivering change in UK Public Sector. We are now launching our fourth publication - 'Leaner, greener, keener - insights and inspiration on delivering change in UK public sector'.

Public sector organisations in the UK are under pressure to do more with less, to respond to the challenge of climate change and to increase and improve service delivery for citizens – in other words, they need to be 'leaner, greener and keener'. Delivery of course remains the lifeblood of public service in the UK. The question is how actually to deliver on the leaner, greener and keener promise in practice.

This challenge is at the heart of this publication. Once again, we have turned to those in the know for their experiences and perspectives on the ongoing transformation. Contributors come from a range of backgrounds: from UK government to international public sector and private sector contributors. Their experiences represent a level of public service achievement on a scale that is not always fully appreciated in the media. Their insight regarding best practice when it comes to leaner, greener and keener activities is relevant and transferable.
