Participants will be:
- committed to making a difference in key areas
- keen to apply the latest thinking and approaches to realising outcomes – developing a whole system approach, applying trauma informed practices, developing person-centred support
- eager to apply the ideas, assets and energy of all parts of the system
- keen to learn from experts and other participants
- responsible for driving improvements in commissioning for outcomes
- able to take back practical input to your own OPCC challenges
Our approach
Commissioning and systems transformation are inherently multi-disciplinary, and our approach to developing capability combines:
- Action – applying insight and tools to your priorities to bring learning to life, and make a difference
- Process – facilitation and coaching for experience sharing and collaborative learning
- Knowledge – stimulating insights and know-how on proven practices to spark new thinking
This ‘action learning’ approach, means we can support you to learn as we go – applying learning to the complex work you are undertaking to improve the lives of people in the communities you serve – developing people and processes in support of delivery.
