Aims for today

Norfolk’s VCSE Sector

Norfolk’s VCSE Sector

Norfolk’s VCSE Sector

Norfolk’s VCSE Sector

• Progressing the actions from the Sector Led Plan

• Providing a key high level systems interface for the sector

• Part elected, part appointed to provide broad representation, legitimacy and networks to communicate effectively with the wider sector

System Leadership Group

• Opportunity for a better model• Redefining the relationships internal

and external • Collaboration structures that work– Delivery– Strategy

• Collaboration is the default• Re-examine traditional roles &

approaches

Going forward

• Fewer resources, more demand• VCSE disengages from commissioning

prefers choice over slightly increased resources with quality & safety concerns

• Community sector doesn't see the point of engaging

• Natural forces approach to service provision • Split resource, reduced co-ordination likely

poorer outcomes overall

Worst Case

Those that will loose most are the people we most want to help

InnovationVirtuosity& Bravura

• Culture eats strategy for breakfast • What does this mean?• As systems become more complex

traditional command and control and strategic alignment become impossible

• Culture is behavioural • People will move in the right direction on

instinct• A stronger shared culture not a strategy?

Complex interlinked system going forward

The Cake Model of Partnership

• How do you eat your cake?

• Take your piece, eat it in the corner and tell us how good it tasted every few months

• Stay at the table, eat it socially and collaboratively

• Bit messier but probably more fulfilling

Partnership is fundamentally about people and relationships

Fundamental areas of agreement • Achieving the best

possible outcomes for the people of Norfolk

• Prevention is better than cure

• What can we each bring (public & VCSE sectors) to a shared endeavour of promoting the best possible outcomes for the people of Norfolk?

• Please distinguish between who is bringing what (VCSE, Public, Both)

• Please separate areas where there is agreement (both see as role and happy to provide) or areas where further discussion is required (caveats or disagreement)

• How do we take them forward?– Area– Or discussion about the area

1. Making the best use of grassroots community activity & develop new

2. Shared strategic planning, intelligence, evidence/impact3. Engaging/connected to people (focus low need &

prevention)4. Information sharing around individual cases5. Navigating through the support system better (once in

it)6. 67. Assets, investment and competition, shared modelsWho else need to be round the table?What is local, county etc?

• Part 1–What do we need to enable people to do–What barriers do we need to remove

• Part 2–What support enables both of these in

the long and short term–Who is best placed to deliver what and

what will help this happen
