necc is firmly rooted in public service values but actively promotes what many might see as a radical and innovative approach to change. We are a small organisation and are likely to remain so - for in that lies our strength to promote innovation and new thinking rather than to deliver defined services and programmes.

Bringing people and organisations together, encouraging them to find new opportunities, breaking down long standing barriers and boundaries which too often constrain effectiveness, opening up new thinking, strategies and policies - these are the driving forces of necc.
