In this latest episode of Radical Reformers, Andrew Laird is joined by Caroline Simpson, Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Transport for Greater Manchester and the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. Greater Manchester became the first new Mayoral Combined authorities in 2014 and in this conversation, Caroline has a refreshing approach to leadership and shares how she navigates the incredibly complex but rewarding Greater Manchester environment. What's clear from this conversation is Greater Manchester thrives on strong relationships built on trust and transparency, and not being afraid to have difficult conversations. This solid foundation of trust and knowledge of the place makes room for balanced risk and makes Manchester the perfect place for a test and learn approach. If you take just one thing away from this episode, we hope it's inspiration from the boundless energy that Caroline embodies as a leader. Times are certainly tough for public services – but all great change starts with the belief that it can be done and as Caroline says, going "All in"!

In the new episode of Radical Reformers, Andrew Laird welcomes Graeme Duncan, Chief Executive of Right to Succeed, a charity that supports communities in areas of high deprivation to work collectively and give children and young people the best start in life. In this discussion, Graeme and Andrew discuss the transformative power of building community agency. Graeme notes that the biggest challenge facing our communities isn't just the individual issues like poverty, education, or health - but the lack of control people have in defining their own needs and solutions. True change comes from a collective approach, where everyone works together, rather than top-down or bottom-up methods. Graeme offers insights into how Right to Succeed engages with different levels of administration, from individual councils to the Liverpool City Region and how this approach has led to significant savings and better outcomes for communities. Allowing communities to take ownership, builds trust and collaborative solutions that are hard to beat. As Graeme says, if a community chooses an intervention – they will make it succeed.

In this new episode of Radical Reformers, Andrew Laird chats to Graham Farrant, Chief Executive of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council. It's a particularly relevant episode for those going through the current local government reorganisation (LGR) process. Back in 2018, Graham was the inaugural Chief Executive of the newly formed BCP Council and this episode is packed with lessons and insight from his experience of leading a brand new council. He describes the challenges of the LGR process, the complexities of merging councils and the programme management that's crucial to do it successfully. It's a must-listen for those who have recently submitted initial LGR proposals. Graham is also renowned for bringing business acumen to his various public sector roles. He shares his insights on: - Budgets and the importance of forecasting and recognising likely overspend. - The importance of viewing risk management as an integral part of every role – not a separate function. - The potential financial benefits of public sector funded commercial activities.

This week, Andrew Laird is joined by Kate Josephs, Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council. Kate is a former Senior Civil Servant in Whitehall who has transitioned to local government in a City just around the corner from where she grew up. Sheffield is a city (with three-party political leadership) which has developed an ambitious set of City Goals through community collaboration, focusing on shared ownership and improving public services. The episode touches on the need for flexibility and adaptability in public service delivery, the power of optimistic leadership and the emerging role of council Chief Executives as conveyors of “place”. The conversation also highlights the financial and outcomes folly of delivering public services in silos. Better collaboration and the removal of duplication and the need for people to repeatedly tell their story not only improves efficiency, but more importantly can break people and families out of a downward spiral. Enjoy it! NB - this episode was recorded before the Government announced it was abolishing NHS England.

We've extended our International Women's Day celebrations here at MV. Inspired by our recent report and webinar, we have produced a special episode of the #RadicalReformers podcast. Since its launch, from the very first episode with Sophie Humphreys to the very latest episode with Louisa Mitchell, 60% of the guests on the podcast have been women. This is not a contrived thing, it is just where a lot of the leadership talent is! In this episode, @Andrew Laird introduces six clips from the archive with Theresa Leavy, Arianna Giovannini, Fatima Khan Shah, Sam Plum, Prof. Donna Hall and Naomi Hulston. A very wide range of topics are covered including, leaning into challenges, championing diversity, the relationship between employers and employees, the right power to devolve to local areas, local government reorganisation and the birth of the “Wigan Deal”. Enjoy it #AccelerateNow #Internationalwomensday #IWD25

In this episode of Radical Reformers, Andrew Laird is joined by Louisa Mitchell MBE, Chief Executive of All Child, an organisation dedicated to supporting communities in underserved neighbourhoods across the UK to help children and young people flourish. All child has a crystal-clear purpose and methodology. They identify children who need support, they develop a trusted relationship with the child and the family, and they align public services around the child. Louisa and her team have achieved amazing results. In the eight years of their existence, they have worked with nearly 6000 children and 2/3 of those children are no longer at risk in their social and emotional health and around 60% have improved their school grades. Louisa also talks about the benefit of outcomes contracts and how they make space for trusted relationships and support that's tailored to individuals. This type of commissioning gives providers power and permission to do whatever it takes to help, rather than ticking activity boxes. This episode majors on something we come back to time and time again on Radical Reformers – the transformative power of relationships and trust. It's also a rallying cry to anyone thinking of making the jump into public services, as Louisa started her career in finance, before moving to policy research writing – until she decided, in her words “enough writing, time for some action”

Andrew Laird, of Brown University, discusses Aztec Latin: Renaissance Learning and Nahuatl Traditions in Early Colonial Mexico (Oxford University Press, 2024). In 1536, only fifteen years after the fall of the Aztec empire, Franciscan missionaries began teaching Latin, classical rhetoric, and Aristotelian philosophy to native youths in central Mexico. The remarkable linguistic and cultural exchanges that would result from that initiative are the subject of this book. Aztec Latin highlights the importance of Renaissance humanist education for early colonial indigenous history, showing how practices central to humanism — the cultivation of eloquence, the training of leaders, scholarly translation, and antiquarian research — were transformed in New Spain to serve Indian elites as well as the Spanish authorities and religious orders. While Franciscan friars, inspired by Erasmus' ideal of a common tongue, applied principles of Latin grammar to Amerindian languages, native scholars translated the Gospels, a range of devotional literature, and even Aesop's fables into the Mexican language of Nahuatl. They also produced significant new writings in Latin and Nahuatl, adorning accounts of their ancestral past with parallels from Greek and Roman history and importing themes from classical and Christian sources to interpret pre-Hispanic customs and beliefs. Aztec Latin reveals the full extent to which the first Mexican authors mastered and made use of European learning and provides a timely reassessment of what those indigenous authors really achieved.
