Welcome to the Improvement East 'Learning Lab'.
Improvement East is the Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (RIEP) for the East of England. Since 2008 we have been supporting authorities to achieve greater efficiency and improve their performance. For every £1 invested in the RIEP, we have acheived £5 in savings.
Moving forward, Improvement East will be working with local authorities to rapidly increase the pace of change and meet the challenge of significant budget reductions. Working collaboratively across places and organisational boundaries will be key. We can see a real oportunity to build more integrated, customer-focussed services. At the same time, the financial and cultural challenge will be a big one. Funding is tight, cuts are inevitable and the pressue is on to dramatically reduce costs.
That's why Improvement East is here to help.
In this context, we are pleased to be launching the Improvement East Learning Lab. This site is focussed on helping authorities to learn and build on the experience of other places. You will find video, case studies, downloads and weblinks associated with many of the projects we have funded. We want to spread good practice, reduce duplication, avoid repeated pitfalls and share the expert knowledge that we have across the East of England. Over time, more material will be added to ensure that learning is shared as widely as possible, and helps us to meet the challenges ahead.
