What skills are needed for the new unitaries?

17:15 - 17:50

As new unitary councils emerge, leadership teams will need to rethink the skills, capabilities and organisational cultures required for success. This interactive discussion will explore the changing demands placed on senior leaders and workforces in larger, more strategic organisations. From commercial acumen and systems leadership to digital transformation and place-based working, we will consider the capabilities that will define high-performing unitary authorities and how councils can develop them.
