The main theme of October’s Solace Summit was ‘A fresh perspective on the future’. How do we reinvigorate and revitalise service delivery in a climate of technical disruption and constant change?

Reviewing this year’s event, The MJ’s Heather Jameson observed: ‘It’s the talent within that will fix the sector’. This is an opinion I wholeheartedly share. The Society for Innovation, Technology and Modernisation (SOCITM) is actively promoting this through policy work, wider leadership development initiatives and through the creation of a talent pipeline and vibrant communities of interest.
