Participated in the annual Assist conference at St Andrews today. Its always a great opportunity to catch up with many friends who work in the FM sector in Scotland and sometimes from a bit further away.
Got the opportunity to visit some of North Lanarkshire Councils new schools today and it was a really eye opener for me.
Launched our Governance, Neighbourhoods and Service Delivery research in Scotland at a well attended APSE seminar at Hamilton Racecourse today. The conference room overlooked the winning post and I couldn't help myself from drawing the analogy with today's topic being vital to the hopes and dreams of the public in much the same way as a horse carries the hopes and dreams of the punters. Hopefully we will be more successful in this agenda than on my occasional failed attempts at predicting the winners of horse races.
DeAnne Julius published her review into the Public Services Industry today and its hardly earth shattering conclusions that she draws.
