Change You Can Believe In report

Public Sector Forums made this Freedom of Information request to National School of Government

The request was successful.

From: Public Sector Forums

21 April 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

I make this request under the Freedom of Information Act.

I would like to request a copy of the Whitehall Innovation Hub
paper, 'Change you can believe in: the leadership of innovation'. I
have been unable to find this on the National School for Government
website.

The report is described in the Treasury's Operational Efficiency
Programme Final Report as being published in March 2009, and
'outlines the challenges that innovation presents to government,
why the transforming government agenda is a foundation for the
implementation of any innovation strategy, and why leadership is
critical to innovation and transforming government.'

An electronic copy of the document would be preferred if this is
available.

Please contact me if you have any queries about this enquiry.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Cuddy

Dear Ian

Many thanks for your email.

The paper is to be officially launched on 16 June 2009. However, I've been advised that, given the demand, the Whitehall Innovation Hub team will work to ensure the paper is accessible via the National School's website before that date.

Kind regards

Chris Mallett
