How you manage risks around organisation change, service transformation and innovation

No

Organisational change, service transformation and innovation all involve a degree risk and failure if they are to achieve their objective of changing things for the better. In some cases the biggest risk faced is not taking a risk. However, public services cannot take reckless risks as we provide services to the most vulnerable in society, and the careless use of tax payer’s money is not acceptable in times of austerity.
