What graduates say

Kiran Lahel Shared Services Officer Walsall Council"A challenging but rewarding, thought provoking experience enabling me to think outside the box and question current and future practices. Not only was delivery through a honest and professional approach but the course was instrumental in providing me with the tools and techniques for future collaborative activity".

Bukky McGlynn SSA, Customer Experience and Strategy Manager at Surrey County Council Shared Services“Doing the course was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the shared services models, what makes them work and why many of them fail. I now understand the importance of developing a shared vision and collaboration in creating successful, sustainable partnerships. I have used the learning from the course to inform our partnership and commercial offering discussions”.
