INNER CIRCLE CONSULTING

Economic Growth is *the* top priority of our new government - but this has to be about so much more than changing GVA numbers on a spreadsheet. I was really pleased to write for TheMJ about needing to take a place-based approach to growth as local and regional government is tasked to produce growth plans. Focusing on place, and less on economic sectors, ensuring that residents and communities benefit from rising prosperity is essential if we're to make the most of this moment.

Inclusive Growth is about so much more than numbers. Absolutely packed Inner Circle Consulting fringe event for a brilliant discussion on what inclusive growth really means, the role of devolved and local government, the power to deliver real change and investing in strong public services. Huge thanks to Shama T. Kim McGuinness Liam Robinson & Evie John

Our Safer Homes and Neighbourhoods Director, Liz Oliver, and Investment and Partnership Director, Catherine Raynsford, joined the conversation at the #HousingCommunitySummit this week.   Liz spoke about the changes we have made over the last year to better engage with customers, not only about building safety but across all our services. From transforming our customer contact centre, introducing our digital platform, My Account, to having more Neighbourhood Officers out in our communities, Liz made clear that multiple channels and approaches to engaging with customers are key.   Catherine joined a discussion chaired by Inner Circle Consulting that asked if the sector can deliver the government’s ambitious target to build 1.5 million new homes before the next parliament. Catherine cautioned that debt alone won't be enough to meet this target while also maintaining existing homes, with housing associations needing to explore more innovative funding models to make their development programmes viable. She also highlighted the vast buying power of the sector as a collective, and the opportunities that could arise from better collaboration.

Safe, warm, and secure housing is a human right. But underfunding, underinvestment and rising demand has put the housing system in crisis. Councils and housing associations face this challenge along with increased costs of decarbonisation, building safety, and asset investment, and the significant impact of legal and regulatory change. Our team draws on multidisciplinary housing skillsets and experience - including strategy development, investment, architecture, development and estate regeneration, along with service design and transformation delivery - to provide clients with a whole system response to their housing challenges.    At Inner Circle, we’re always looking to work with and learn from talented people who want to make a difference in the housing sector and in the public sector at large. If you are interested in joining us in our mission to provide safe, warm and secure housing for all, then please do get in touch.   #Housing #HousingTalent #HousingCareers #Talent Karen Barke Evie John Lucy Webb Matthew Bennett James Masini Colin Boxall Jonny Moore Sandra Perez James Masini Adam Westbury
