London Collaborative Launch

Sunday is not sunday. It is just the preview of Monday, a long Monday.

Today I spent ten hours in library withoud my dear food, partly because I have to finish one piece of news for LOL, partly because I need to burn DVD for TV group, and the most important part is that I exceeded network daily usage yesterday. Hehe~

Here comes the unsubbed edition news.

London Collaborative Launch

By the end of March, London Collaborative and Capital Ambition will publish a report on key challenges and future frame of London.

The report aims at providing a framework for settling the most suitable areas for cooperation and at investigating the most effective ways of measuring London’s future success.

On 18th March, the report will be put out at the official launch of the Futures programme, which is Capital Ambition’s flagship project.

The programme will deliver important research and analysis on how London can prepare for future challenges.

The first stage of network building is in well progress with nearly 200 key managers nominated from across the boroughs.

A second stage, enrolling people from key agencies such as the Metropolitan Police, the NHS (National Health Service) and housing agencies, has also started.

Capital Ambition
Capital Ambition was set up in January 2006 by London local government to improve public services across the capital.

Its originally focus has been on engaging in current pieces in London, while another important part of Capital Ambition manifesto is around the longer-term challenges for London.

Earlier 2007, Capital Ambition met with a range of consultants, academic and policy institutions to discuss how the project would be delivered.

London Collaborative
Following the testing period that took place over August and September, London Collaborative was selected as Capital Ambition’s partner to deliver the programme.

London Collaborative is an association led by the Young Foundation, and including OPM (the Office for Public Management) and Common Purpose, with access to LSE, UCL, Local Futures Group, Shared Intelligence, and Forum for the Future.
