What we do

Public Service Leadership provides a network for the exchange of ideas and a vehicle for collaboration aimed at improving leadership in public service.

"Collaborative and partnership working is an absolutely core competence of today's public service leaders. Public Service Leadership has been created as an opportunity for all of us in the public service leadership academies to model that behaviour, by working together across traditional boundaries in support of innovation to equip leaders to tackle society's most challenging and intractable issues."

Ewart Wooldridge CBE, Chief Executive, Leadership Foundation for Higher Education

Better quality services

By collaborating across services we aim to help our member organisations raise the quality of their service and provide better value for money. And by working together we will deliver more than the sum of our individual parts.

How we will work together

We will produce a step-change in collaboration between our organisations by:

  • sharing best practice
  • promoting collaboration and networking
  • encouraging innovation and experimentation in leadership learning
  • promoting greater efficiency across the boundaries between our organisations
