It's the following reference that I want to take issue with:"Make no mistake - the private sector has a massive role to play and will deliver strong short-term savings. But it will not create the Big Society." I appreciate that this is not a criticism of the private sector per se but it does rather suggest that it has little role to play in the BS.<br />I certainly don't view the 'Big Society' as something that is somehow separate from ‘Society’ as a whole. The values exemplified by the 'Big Society' provide us with a vision of what we want society to become-and the private sector is an intrinsic part of said society. Obviously I'm speaking as someone who is in the private sector but the values of my company are absolutely in tune with those of the 'Big Society’. And I don’t just mean in a googlesque 'do no evil' way or because we have adopted a CSR policy -but because we actively see our central mission as being one that helps tackle social, economic and health inequality .We certainly don’t feel that our ownership model hinders this mission - indeed in many ways our ability, for example, to take bounded risks etc enhances it. <br />And that leads into a related point which for me is a key element of the BS. I'm not convinced that a change of ‘ownership’ inevitably leads to a real change in the nature of the relationship between service provider and user where one can see a shift in the balance of power and responsibility towards coproduction. Equally important is the issue of different value sets held by individuals and organisations. Not the place to go into this in detail (please have a look at http://bit.ly/9qRKGc or http://bit.ly/bVl7T6 if you are interested).<br /><br />Jonathan Upton<br />Chairman<br />The Campaign Company<br />www.thecampaigncompany.co.ukUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546167271811688460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742385127651266632.post-63030158870524988302010-09-11T14:26:09.136+01:002010-09-11T14:26:09.136+01:00Craig
