Sharing, be it across local authorities, the wider public and third sectors, is a fundamental lever for transforming the way we deliver services and realise efficiencies and better outcomes for the public. And yet, there are scant examples of working sharing and models that go beyond the traditional "sector", "service" or organisation types. Those that have succeeded often share the headline good news and shy away from the pains of the journey that got them there.

There is the need for a sharing forum or exchange where we can experience the realities of sharing - things that go beyond theoretical tools, techniques and frameworks but can help us tap into the stories, the experiences and tacit knowledge of the people who dared to dream it, do it and are now willing to share their successes as well as their failures. The Sharing Exchange is an all day event that aims to do just that.

FREE to all Public Sector organisations, the Sharing Exchange is hosted by the Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnerships (RIEPs) National Business Transformation Group. Leading by example, the Transformation leaders from six RIEPs - Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands, Improvement East, East Midlands Improvement and Efficiency Partnership and Improvement and Efficiency South East, North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership, and Capital Ambition - work together and with other RIEPs on common themes to avoid re-work and duplication.

This event is designed to replicate the Transformation Group's passionate belief in the outcomes that can result
from sharing. It will bring together a variety of organisations and individuals from across the public sector willing
to share their stories, war wounds and successes in what promises to be hot spot exchange of ideas and
solutions.

Why attend?
You will hear from a wide breadth of functional and organisation experts with real, current experience;
• You will gain insights to new operating models between local government, health and third sector;
• You will have the opportunity to meet these experts and others in themed Exchanges to ask specific questions about the challenges you face and how the lessons learnt can help you get to savings and outcomes faster and with less risk and pain.

Who should attend?
Individuals and teams involved in improving service delivery and value optimisation in local government and beyond will find this conference extremely valuable.
