About this listen
In this episode, Matthew Masters speaks with Joe Fyans, Head of Research at Localis, about their latest report, Guarantee of Potential. The conversation explores how the UK can reform its skills system by adopting a whole systems approach integrating employment, health, education, and procurement at the local level.
Joe explains how devolution, Integrated Care Systems, and the absorption of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) into councils are reshaping the landscape of local service delivery. He also highlights the untapped power of procurement as a tool for driving social value and aligning local spending with strategic goals.
Packed with insights, case studies, and a forward-looking vision, this episode is essential listening for anyone interested in the future of local governance, economic inclusion, and public service reform.
