Cooperative Councils towards a five year forward view
Dr Henry Kippin
2
Three questions and three conclusions… so far
Cooperative Councils have made important progress against their stated aims BUT - Cooperative Councils cannot yet evidence a strong relationship between cooperative ambition, principles and practice positive change in local outcomes SO - The next five years need to be about more systematically building the pre-conditions for deeper public service reform as a route to a more socially and economically sustainable future. What progress have Cooperative Councils made in the past five years? Where has progress been lacking? What should the next 5 years look like for Cooperative Councils?
