Calls for interest

The Innovators Council: call for ideas
The purpose of the Innovators Council is to champion innovation in public services - it will be a forum for people to make suggestions for reform and challenge thinking in public service design and delivery. Have you got ideas about how people delivering public services can work better together? Have you spotted areas of duplication in public services which could be cut out? The Innovators Council is looking for ideas to make public services more efficient by building them around the needs of citizens, cutting out the waste and changing ways of working together. The Council will be meeting for the first time on 24th June and if your idea makes it onto the shortlist you will be invited to come along and take part. If your idea can be explained in a few words, you can let us know on the Public Experience website. If what you are suggesting is more complicated you can send it by e-mail or post it to Room 1.17, Admiralty Arch, Lonson SW1A 2WH.
