"Probably, lawyers are most responsible for some of the non-progressive aspects of how we deal with public services at the moment," says today's guest, a lawyer.
Julian Blake is a partner at Stone King and co-author of the widely acclaimed 2016 publication, The Art of the Possible in Public Procurement. For over 30 years, he has specialised in social enterprise, charity, responsible business, public service reform and innovation, co-operatives and stakeholder participation – blending business and public benefit legal disciplines.
"The law compounds the failures in facilitating and applying practical frameworks for public service commissioning," writes Julian in the new book, Vitalising Purpose.
"It is deferred to as rigid authority too much and applied purposively too little. The technical lawyer is too dominant and the practical lawyer too underemployed." So what advice can this practical-minded and expert lawyer give us? Plenty. We cover:

  • How things have changed since The Art of the Possible in Public Procurement was published in 2016.
  • Organisations Julian admires for commissioning progressively, with examples of multi-stakeholder, purpose-aligned partnerships.
  • The difference between public value and social value.
  • "Social Value Imperatives" and how commissioners and public authorities can use them.
  • Open book accounting in public service delivery.
  • More public authorities are creating Innovation Partnerships, or entities equivalent to them, since trailblazers and pioneers did so.
  • What the future looks like with a new Procurement Bill (and associated Guidance) coming.

What next?
