Olympic plans must have local benefits
15 June 2007
I've been working for Tower Hamlets on developing its Olympic strategy. Not being a complex person - though willing to be devious in the public interest when required - my cunning Olympic plan is simple. It's the three Ps: procurement (P1), programmes (P2) and politics (P3). P1 is obvious. When buying services or recruiting staff, all the public and private agencies building the Games and legacy should procure as much as possible of both locally. Programmes (P2) are required in support of P1 as no benefits will automatically fall to local communities unless the public and private sectors put initiatives together which, say, train local people or enable local companies to understand the relevant commercial requirements so they can win contracts.
