Next week the election will almost definitely be called. Whoever wins in May, there will be a huge influx of new MPs as so many are retiring at the general election. Alongside the political turnover and maybe change, there are major developments in the regulatory landscape: in post-16 education there are new quangoes plus changes in the role of local authorities; in social housing a nearly-new regulator is introducing a new set of standards. All this poses opportunities and threats.
With all this going on, have the leaders and managers in public services been thinking about stakeholder management? Probably not in many cases. Even if you are busy, it is helpful to identify and strengthen critical relationships.
Last month Inside Housing had a excellent article on navigating relationships with national and local politicians successfully. It has relevance well beyond social landlords.
