Today saw the first of the Transition Institute spin-out camps that I chair. Hosted by Hempsons in its very comfortable Manchester solicitors' offices, we had a great day. Delegates were from local authorities, the voluntary sector, the cooperative movement and thought leaders in the field of new service provision. The purpose of the camp was to speak with delegates to give them knowledge and inspiration and to hear about their challenges and aspirations. We also wanted to make connections between the players in this fledgling market and vitally get detailed feedback on our latest research piece Commissioning and procurement with social value.
