Local Government Partnership Network

Innovative events for the public sector

Digital transformation as the key lever for change in local government

In a world where digital transformation is no longer a choice but a necessity, local government must lead the charge.

LGPN focuses on bringing together digital leaders from local authorities across the UK to discuss strategies and share actionable insights to achieve sector-wide digital transformation effectively and efficiently. By showcasing some of the most innovative case studies of digital transformation in the UK and diving deep into the key questions and pain points leaders face today, the event will support local authorities to better leverage digital technology and data to revolutionise how they serve their residents.

This critical event brings together experts, decision-makers, and innovators to address the challenges and opportunities facing councils in the digital age. By facilitating critical connections in this changing sector, LGPN will inform, inspire and empower digital leaders to solve some of the biggest challenges facing residents and their communities.

Together we can create a digitally enabled future, meeting the evolving needs of our local communities.

Key themes at LGPN include:

How can councils leverage technology to modernise their operations and services
The potential of AI and robotic process automation in improving efficiency of service delivery
The importance of data driven decision making to inform policy and service design
Navigating the shift from legacy systems to cloud-based solutions
Strategies to enhance cyber security, including educating staff about cyber threats
The importance of digital inclusion so that services are available and accessible to all residents
Strategies to enhance cross-departmental collaboration, breaking down data silos
Bridging the digital skills gap within local government and strategies to hire, upskill and retain digital talent
Identifying and addressing organisational and cultural barriers to digital transformation through effective change management.
Navigating the transition to unitary councils from a digital perspective

Discover the latest innovations in digital technologies, specifically tailored to local governments; to transform the way you serve your residents.
Connect with peers and industry leaders to share best practices, lessons learnt and develop invaluable relationships which can inform your future transformation efforts and address systemic barriers collectively rather than individually.
Develop strategies to support your digital transformation efforts, bridge digital skills gaps and enhance digital inclusion, whilst balancing budgetary constraints, through deep-dive panel discussions.

TESTIMONIALS

I need to make myself available to learn what other trusts are doing, while being present in my own trust.

Lisa Emery
CIO

Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust
I believe it is incumbent upon all of us as senior health leaders to offer strategic direction, that goes without saying. But we also need to amplify curiosity, agility and a passion to improve, fostering commitment in the art of the possible.

Jonathan Lofthouse
Site CEO

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
The only thing that’s going to be constant now is change. Trusts and staff need to be ready for whatever the future brings and sharing best practice between trusts, safely, is an important part of the solution.

James Devine
CEO

Medway NHS Foundation Trust
As NHS trusts, the need to collaborate and learn from each other has never been stronger. But neither has our need to reduce unnecessary social interaction as a society.

Paul Bytheway
Chief Operating Officer

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Foundation Trust
Events like the Healthcare Partnership Network are really important in bringing together senior leaders both from the industry and from the NHS, because you can start to see the connections that people are making. There’s a lot of synergy and energy around being able to look at a product a company has to offer and being able to relate that to what happens in the NHS.

Paula Head
Chief Executive
