BEST Presents: Beyond Silver Bullets

Agenda:

In this keynote Professor French (founder and CEO of Strategic Social Marketing, UK) will discuss the key factors behind why we need to, and how we can, develop more effective, efficient, ethical and citizen-supported social and economic policy.

The presentation will explore why we  need  coordinated and sustained up-stream, mid-stream and down-stream action based on evidence and best practice experience that is also informed and supported by citizens.

Professor French will set out in this presentation a number of recommendations for how a more responsive and empowering approach to social policy can be developed and  applied.
