As one of the field-trial consultants for The Innovation Unit's Next Practice in Education Programme, Gene has been working with Knowsley MBC over the past year in support of their Next Practice work on system leadership. Gene acts as an adviser and critical friend to the key leaders in Knowsley and is currently working with them and other Innovation Unit consultants to co-design and deliver a Pioneering System Leaders programme.

Knowsley has a recent history of radical educational innovation and is now using Building Schools for the Future as a key driver of transformation in education and wider service provision for young people. Its vision is to replace ten secondary schools with three area based federations comprised from seven new Learning Centres. The newly appointed Learning Centre Leaders will form a system leadership cadre, working together and with the authority and other partners to effect system transformation.
