Shaping the Future of Greater Lincolnshire: A Data-Driven Approach to Vision Development
Within the context of Greater Lincolnshire, encompassing nine borough and district councils, there was a need for a shared vision and supporting narrative for the next 30 years. Impera, in collaboration with Inner Circle Consulting and PA Consulting, undertook the challenge to develop a social outcome tool at the borough and district ward level. The primary aim was to create a shared purpose, accountability, and assurance with a delivery plan across leaders and chief executives.
