Nova Ratio Publica discusses issues identified by Nova Ratio – a consultancy providing expert advice and practical help to find new ways of thinking and working in public services.

The logo captures the essence of this thinking.

The outer box represents all of the private value the community wants from a public service. The second box represents what (the community agrees is valuable to be provided, using the resources available the public value). The next box shows the resources available to deliver the service to give the community what it wants. The last box, shows the value actually delivered by the service.

The logo shows there are gaps between all the boxes. These gaps are where the challenges lie to find new ways of thinking.
