I recently had the opportunity to speak at The MJ Future Forum Midlands, where I reflected on Birmingham City Council's experience with intervention. It has been a long and complex journey – one that continues to teach us a lot about what works, and what does not, when it comes to working with intervention to turn things around in local government.
Birmingham's intervention journey spans more than a decade. It began with the 2014 Kerslake Review, followed by the Birmingham Improvement Board from 2015-19.
