- Issues of public procurement in the context of the next wave of government efficiencies and the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review
- The private sector’s role in delivering public service excellence
- The future possibilities of ‘mixed’ service provision

- Best practice in partnership working between the 3 sectors - public, private and voluntary
BIE presented to the session on ‘Management exchange between the private and public sectors’ chaired by Dr William Moyes (Exec. Ch. Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts).

He went on to outline the specific advantages of interims namely: prior experience in the particular situation being confronted, knowledge of ‘industry best practice’, instant credibility as a leader, objectivity, focus on delivery and a planned exit.
