Networking the change

Collective action is a priority for the North Ayrshire HSCP commissioning and contracts team, and we’re delighted to be joining them to take work forward with colleagues from social work and care providers in the area. Together we’ll be focusing on identifying and prioritising actions that can be taken now to address local challenges and prepare the ground for longer term collaborative change. 

Sustainability of support and getting the right support for people at the right time are our starting points for workshops that will grow shared perspectives and understanding and develop solutions from the ground up. 

Collaborative changemaking in North Ayrshire

The bees are back! Watching these amazing creatures leave their hibernation spots and fly around again this Spring has struck me as I look back on this year’s Foundations for Change work. I’m thinking particularly about the powerful hive mind that colleagues in North Ayrshire have engaged with over the last year to find collective solutions and network their changemaking across different organisations, teams and functions.

Sprint, scrum, getting things done

I’m writing this with a cup of tea next to me, thinking about colleagues in North Ayrshire who are working with us this year through our Foundations for Change programme. I’m sitting here at my desk tapping away at the keyboard while they are getting active - forming scrums and starting sprints!
