Truth about Local Government · 2026-07-28 · 20 min
Local government leaders are being asked to achieve something unprecedented: maintain frontline services under intense financial and workforce pressures whilst simultaneously redesigning organisations for a rapidly changing future. In this episode of The Truth About Local Government , Matt Masters is joined by Paul Knight, Co-Founder of RPNA and author of What Must Be True? , alongside Adam Hill, Chief Executive of Rushcliffe Borough Council. Together, they explore the six conditions that RPNA argues must be present for meaningful and lasting organisational change: collective leadership authority, strategic and financial reality, decision-making and governance, organisational capability and capacity, change and delivery discipline, and trust, narrative and communication.
