About Greg

Greg is a specialist in the design and management of innovative initiatives to improve policy, practice and performance in the public realm. He set up the What Works Centres for Ageing Better and Children’s Social Care; and he worked with Nesta for ten years on a series of national innovation programmes, in which he specialised in the development of business models and business cases to help public bodies, VCS organisations and social enterprises with the seeding and scaling of community-led approaches to innovation.
