Insights - August 2023

Insights - August 2023

Welcome to Insights from Human Engine ! As the curtain draws on August, we Brits endure what can only be described as a damp squib of a summer (fingers crossed for a warm Indian summer!). Though, knowing our luck, the only 'Indian' thing we might get is a takeout curry to keep us warm in the chilly autumn evenings!

On the sporting front, our hearts swelled with pride (and maybe a twinge of bittersweet sorrow) as England emerged as the gallant runners-up in the Women's World Cup. They might not have taken home the trophy, but they certainly won our admiration. Indeed, rain or shine, our English spirit remains unyielding.

At HE HQ, there’s been a flurry of activity on-site and virtual halls of Human Engine. We've been tackling every challenge that this damp month threw at us.

As August ends, we'll provide a light update on our recent efforts and significant developments. Let's dive right into it, shall we? With a brolly at the ready, just in case!


What's In This Issue

In this issue, you'll find:

  • An early update into our transformative work with Luton Borough Council
  • The inside gossip on our Team Day
  • Introductions and insights from new team members!
  • A sneak peek at what Human Engine have planned for the next quarter…


Luton Borough Council: A Progress Update

Our partnership with Luton Borough Council continues to strengthen. Following the announcement of our appointment last month, August has been moving at a good pace.?

During these first few weeks, the key to our strategy is formulating an outline business case for each project or programme. There are A LOT. We are working and meeting with stakeholders to consolidate this long list into a portfolio that we can take forward to help Luton achieve lasting transformation! As with much of our work, the confidential nature of the programme means we can only offer a glimpse of what's been happening... but Luton's future is very exciting.

Human Engine Team Day – Summer Social

Our team recently indulged in a well-deserved day out in London. The first half was a challenging (for some) escape room in London Bridge. Kudos to Team Chinese Takeaway' and Team King Tut' for their exemplary teamwork and nail-biting finishes.?

Post the escape room, we ventured to Electric Shuffle on London Bridge. It is an indoor retreat, apt for the unpredictable August weather in London. Max and Isla emerged as the shuffleboard champs of the day. Here's to more such memorable outings!
