The public sector is going through the biggest transformation in modern times.

In the last couple of years we’ve seen departments merge, re brand

and sometimes disappear completely, but that doesn’t mean that the

work they did just disappears.


In order to increase efficiency more departments are looking at

hot desking and flexible working, with this comes risk associated with data

and Cyber security. So how do departments make data accessible whilst

making is easy enough for people to gain access?


The relationship between central government and the private sector is also changing. The relationship is now more of a partnership as oppose to client-supplier due the fact that with the demand landscape constantly changing suppliers need to be flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of the department they are supplying to. As well as having to manage their relationships with their suppliers differently, Central Government are also

having to work with localised public sector organisations in a different way, whether it be an NHS Trust, Local Authority or Blue Light organisation. 


The Excellence In Central Government event brings together civil servants

from all organisations under Chatham House rule with no press in attendance allowing all delegates to speak openly and frank about the challenges

they are facing and what they are doing to solve them.

Oatlands Park Hotel, Weybridge

The jewel in Surrey’s Crown – One of the finest 4-star hotels in Surrey. Steeped in royal history.

 

Set amidst 10 acres of magnificent grounds, Oatlands Park Hotel stands near the original site of the grand royal palace built by Henry VIII. Overlooking Broadwater Lake and with far-reaching views over the Surrey countryside, our Grade II listed hotel has been carefully restored and renovated, making it the perfect setting for relaxing getaways with afternoon tea, business meetings and weddings.

 

Located in picturesque countryside in Weybridge, Oatlands Park Hotel is the jewel in Surrey’s crown. Exuding English charm, our 4-star hotel offers a rural escape with fast transport connections to central London (19 miles away) and London Heathrow Airport (9 miles away).

 

Our historic country house first became a hotel in 1856 and stands close to the site of the grand Tudor Palace of Henry VIII. Monarchs, including Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I also resided at Oatlands during their reign. The great cedar tree at the front of the hotel was planted by Charles I to celebrate the birth of his son.
