Self-assessment for the Council of the Future coming soon (22/11/2009)
A self-assessment benchmarking questionnaire will shortly be launched on this web-site to enable councils to assess how far down the road to the Council of the FutureTM they have reached, and what areas they need to tackle next.
Our Council of the FutureTM is proving so popular that are struggling to keep up with demand for information about it. Although much of what it says is already well-known, it brings the vision of what the Council of the Future will look like together with the roadmap for how to get there - something that councils are finding very useful.
One of the most frequently asked questions from senior staff in councils, when they see our Council of the Future "jigsaw", is "Where are we on the map?" So to make it easier for people to make that assessment, we have developed a self assessment tool, which is currently being tested with councils, and which will shortly be put live on the website.
