- 10. © changes, 2009 The group is well organised and has done a lot of work around empowerment of members. But the group is trying to change things – or attitudes – that are fixed. Being here feels frustrating and powerless – the group is banging on a locked door and may need to reconsider what it wants to influence or its approach The group is well organised. This is a positive experience – the group feels influential and powerful and the doors are open to it You feel powerless and as if there is little hope of changing anything. You are not working very well together as a group and there are no openings for your issues. You may need to reconsider what you want to influence or your approach to it. You have low expectations – although these may be realistic for the capacity of your group. You need to organise more collectively – as a group. The political climate is likely to be favourable to your work No influence A lot of influence
- 13. © changes, 2009 The symbols are about: increasing people’s skills, knowledge and confidence including people – not excluding them bringing people together around common issues and concern building positive relationships across different groups and networks leading to communities taking part and influencing decisions, services and activities getting the most from ‘Voice’

- 22. © changes, 2009 what we mean by “ community empowerment”
- 23. © changes, 2009 it’s all about influence …. The ‘voice’ The ‘echo’

- 26. © changes, 2009 A lot of potential to respond to community influence No potential to respond to community influence 6 5 4 3 2 1
- 27. © changes, 2009 Factors impacting on an agency’s potential to respond to community influence National government: external inspection, timetables, legislation Targets Structures: service delivery models, communication Understanding concepts: collective understandings, workable understandings across sectors Political machinery: structures and cultures The law: health & safety, compliance, procurement Funding and limited resources Major events: economic downturn Strategic options: hard choices
- 28. score these factors © changes, 2009 If they get in the way a lot – give them a ‘1’ If they help a lot – give them a ‘6’ for example:

- 32. © changes, 2009 A lot of potential to respond to community influence No potential to respond to community influence Closed to community influence Open to community influence This could be quite an exciting and interesting place to be as it is up to the agency to choose to move things forward. OR – it may feel frustrating as the ‘engine’ of the agency stops you from moving forwards. Leadership may be weak and staff feel like their job involves a lot of work and no action. There may be little accountability and so an increased need for scrutiny, checks and balances This feels like a creative agency with space to take risks. Service delivery meets needs, the organisation is outcome driven and responsive to change. Staff experience tremendous job satisfaction. The agency is transparent and accountable. Additionally, staff may need a challenge to avoid complacency and there may be a responsibility on the agency to share learning and lead by example This feels frustrating but hopeful – there may be little money or political will but agencies have good relationships with communities and could help them to try different approaches which would reduce the constraint on the agency. There may be security in routine for staff and continuity for the public. Agencies want to find solutions and have the creativity to make suggestions – they may need to work at winning hearts and minds This feels like there is no public presence and so no accountability. The agency is number-crunching and robotic. It is a dispiriting place to be. To the outside world, the agency may appear arrogant, superior, uncaring and distant. It is likely to be a risk averse organisation which feels safe and comfortable for senior staff.

Editor's Notes
- Purpose: to introduce yourself and outline the content and style of the session
- Purpose: to warm people up, give you an idea of who is there and what there expectations are Flipchart their responses to what interest them about the session
- Purpose: to be clear about the aims of the session
- Purpose: to get participants thinking about and relating to the idea of ‘influence’ See Exercise 1 in Part 1 – Handy Guide
- Purpose – to illustrate the complexities of the term ‘influence’
- Purpose: to illustrate the different ways in which ‘influence’ can be interpreted, introduce some of the issues around evaluating influence and offer people an opportunity to comment
- Purpose - to introduce your audience to what Voice looks like - to provide a brief overview of Voice as a whole
- Purpose – to get an immediate idea of how much influence people feel the group has This is about individuals making their own personal judgement. See Exercise 3 in Part I – Handy Guide and, for more detail, Section 4 in Part 2 – assessment tool
- Purpose To introduce the vertical axis To take the audience through each of the 10 steps – telling a story To clarify that the point at which the horizontal axis is crossed goes from looking internally to being outward facing See Exercise 2 in Part 1 – Handy Guide and, for more detail Section 3 in Part 2 – assessment tool
- Purpose: to illustrate how Voice can reflect a range of experiences relating to power and influence You may want to an exercise around this See Section 2 in Part 2 – assessment tool
- Purpose: to show how the indicators relate to the step itself and illustrate how the capacity of people is increasing See Section 3 in Part 2 – assessment tool You should stress that this is about individual members of the group – not the group as a whole
- Purpose: illustrate the increased capacity of networks who are positioned higher up the vertical axis Stress that this is now about the group as a collective whole
- Purpose: to show that the indicators relate to different aspects of what makes us influential as groups, networks and communities (as opposed to individuals who are in particular positions of ‘power’) See Section 2 in Part 3 – development tool Some suggested things to say: “You may have noticed that the indicators have symbols next to them – there are 5 different symbols – These symbols – when taken together – are about community empowerment – working in ways which make sure that what you are doing is an empowering experience for your members and those around you, and that your group, and the people involved in it are empowered. So you can really see what you do well and what you might need to work on …. When you are going through the indicators for the different steps there may be some symbols that you tick every time – and others that are always harder. This ‘coding’ helps you to see where your strengths are – the ones you can shout about – and perhaps help others with.
- Purpose: This is an opportunity for participants to assess their capacity to influence, to get them talking to each other and to provide you, the facilitator, with an opportunity to assess their understanding See Exercise 2 in Part 1 – Handy Guide
- Purpose – to pull it all together and plot where the group is on Voice See Section 5 in Part 2 – assessment tool It is really important to take notes at this stage – note down: Where members of the network get to on the vertical axis Which indicators they struggle with – and what they say about them You will need these notes to plan Session two
