How can cities turn discussions into actions that solve pressing challenges? 🌆 Cities across Europe face a common obstacle: aligning stakeholders, disseminating innovative ideas, and ensuring that these ideas translate into measurable outcomes. With BABLE’s Event Management & Impact Services, we’re tackling this challenge head-on by designing and facilitating events that create lasting impact. Through a combination of expert planning, dynamic facilitation, and strategic follow-ups, our events are more than just gatherings—they are platforms for action. A prime example is the Urban Innovation Leadership Forum in Rotterdam, which empowered urban leaders with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate digital transformation. The forum launched the Urban Innovation Leadership Programme and provided participants with practical solutions to implement in their own cities. By curating spaces that inspire knowledge sharing, foster partnerships, and drive innovation, we help places accelerate their transition to smarter, climate-neutral futures. Together, we can turn urban challenges into opportunities for transformation. 👉  Ready to see how impactful events can shape your city’s future? Let’s start a conversation!

Irvine’s #JustProsperity initiative was built upon a history of grantee listening and represented a significant deepening of this practice. The initiative engaged grantees early in the landscaping and strategy development, which, over time, gave grantees increased visibility into our internal considerations and decision-making process. What made this engagement different, and what conditions contribute to authentic, reciprocal grantee-funder relationships? Engage R+D spoke to our staff, Design Circle members, and external consultants, identifying 10 key insights. These include: - Be open, honest, and transparent about power dynamics and expectations  - Demonstrate full commitment at every level of leadership   - Provide a “through-line” with clear goals, objectives, and feedback loops   - Create conditions and support for ecosystem actors to build relationships across differences Check out the learning brief to learn more: https://irvine.ly/4dVa5Hj

We're gearing up for an online event on Wed 9th in collaboration with London Office of Technology & Innovation (LOTI) I want to tell you about. We all know the challenges facing the sector right now—tight budgets, growing workloads, and navigating constant change. But through it all, the thing that stands out to me is how important it is to back your people. Confidence isn’t something that just happens. It has to be built, nurtured, and supported—especially when times are tough. That’s why our Local Gov Bond is focused on helping women across all levels of local government to feel equipped to lead, contribute, and make a real difference. The Local Gov Bond isn’t typical leadership training. It’s about making sure everyone on your team, no matter their role, feels ready to step up, get creative, and bring new ideas to the table. Right now, we need fresh thinking and bold moves, and that starts with giving people the tools they need. If you're working in local government, join us on Wednesday to find out more. https://lnkd.in/dcciasBF "The UPFRONT Local Gov Bond 1 is an exhilarating six-week online experience where you learn to build your confidence and the confidence of the women around you. It all happens LIVE alongside hundreds of curious women from all over the world. The Bond will impact your organisation at an individual and team level. Confidence is an incredibly powerful force in the local gov sector. You will learn how to lead with confidence, inspire trust, foster collaboration, and champion inclusive policies that resonate with your communities' diverse needs." Eddie Copeland
