Each month in our newsletter we’re updating you on components of the Transforming Local Infrastructure (TLI) programme which concluded late in 2013. This month the focus is our common leadership development programme – known as Transform, which has successfully continued self-sustainingly beyond the end of the TLI project.
Transform was developed in partnership with local strategic partners and was launched back in March 2012 by Lord Haskins, chair of the Humber LEP. Around 30 participants from frontline community organisations, from statutory organisations and from local businesses are enrolled in the programme, which to date has held 10 bi-monthly programme days. Transform is about developing a network for future leaders for North East Lincolnshire through a programme of joint activity and learning.
At each themed day, participants hear from current leaders, undertake visits, hear about shared priorities for the area, debate topical issues and take on a specific challenge to support a key shared priority area. Transform shares
venues, travel and other costs across the participants, and together with shared ownership of the programme, this has ensured the continuation of the programme this past year and into 2014. The steering group comprising local
leaders continued to advise and support with future development. Together NELC and VANEL provide administrative support functions to ensure smooth running of the programme.
Specific benefits of Transform include helping with the development of a joined-up thinking process when it comes to future strategy as it feeds into the local
area partnership forum to add a different dimension to their agenda for change.
Transform has been a great success and will continue to run throughout 2014 with the next theme days being planned at the moment.
