closer relationships with all the stakeholders in the sector while driving down
the amount of red tape.

In
a speech to the Association of Colleges’ annual conference he also called for
more openness, clarity of focus and more commitment at local level.

"I
want the LSC to be a very different kind of public sector organisation: open,
listening, responsive, fast-moving and professional in everything it does; an
organisation that promotes clarity;  one
with which it is good to do business," he said.
