Partnership Delivery Group

The Partnership Delivery Group (formerly the Partnership Delivery Board) has been established by the PMC to help ensure the day-to-day delivery of Convergence in relation to key investment streams and delivery methods. This work does not redefine Convergence but rather provides public sector cross-partner leadership. The work of this group has been taken on by the CMG.
