Workshop 1 amy pollard
Public dialogue is a process that brings together members of the public, policymakers, and experts to discuss important issues in depth. It aims to highlight social, ethical, and practical issues related to upcoming policies and make more robust decisions that reflect public values. Extensive public engagement upfront can help prevent costs from spiraling out of control for complex, controversial decisions. Public dialogue in practice involves bringing all stakeholders together with independent facilitators and clear expectations around public influence, to have an informed discussion over multiple meetings. It can open policy areas, deliver cost savings, increase responsiveness and accountability, and support behavior change.
Tania Ellis New Pioneers
This document discusses new types of social enterprises that are emerging to address changing social needs in innovative ways. It defines social enterprises as having three key characteristics: 1) a social mission of creating social value and change, 2) using profits as a means to further the social mission, and 3) finding new solutions to social problems through social innovation. The document recommends that we can learn from social enterprises by challenging old ways of thinking, focusing on solutions rather than problems, utilizing existing resources creatively, involving stakeholders, and taking a values-based approach to blended value creation.
Innovbook presentation
Idea management using Innovbook
Innovbook is a service that allows organizations to quickly locate the proverbial needle in the haystack — the handful of killer ideas in a sea of mediocre ones, and to shepherd them through evaluation and onto implementation. Innovbook allows organizations to consolidate valuable ideas from employees, vendors, customers or tenants. These ideas can be categorized by association, company, or department while a manager at each level reviews the value of the idea specifically for that organizational segment.
The value of inclusion-led innovation
Open Inclusion provides insights from people with diverse perspectives and needs to drive inclusive innovation. They help organizations understand user needs more deeply to create products and services that benefit more people. Their approach prioritizes emerging technologies that solve strong unmet needs, such as sonification of graphs for people who are blind or learn differently. Engaging customers with disabilities in the design process often leads to solutions that are more inclusive and better overall.

Scale up overview
Scale Up Milwaukee is an action project focused on developing the entrepreneurial capacity in Milwaukee by bringing together the policies, structures, programs and climate that foster entrepreneurship.
Scale Up Milwaukee is based on a model developed by Daniel Isenberg, founding executive director of the Babson Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Projects. Isenberg has worked with entrepreneurship ecosystems abroad, including in Colombia, Brazil and Denmark, fostering policies, structures and cultures that stimulate long-term economic growth, development and prosperity through programs and workshops.
Milwaukee is the first community in the U.S. to develop an entrepreneurship program based on this model. The initiative is also backed by Governor Scott Walker and Mayor Tom Barrett as part of a bipartisan effort to grow the economy by stimulating high-growth ventures and encouraging job creation.
The long-term strategy for Scale Up Milwaukee is to create an integrated effort to simultaneously impact six domains of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Milwaukee: Culture, Policy and Leadership, Finance, Human Capital, Markets, and Supports.

Innovation ecosystem human capital
This document discusses enabling innovation through human capital management. It notes that the high rate of knowledge obsolescence is creating complex problems that require innovative, systems-based thinking to solve. Educational institutions need to test new models like student-centric learning to prepare students for this disruptive world. Both social factors like ideation processes and technical factors like data analytics play a role. Managing innovation requires making it a job for all, balancing conformity and creativity, using metrics to measure learning from innovation, and developing people's divergent and convergent thinking skills. Leadership must facilitate an organizational culture that encourages challenging norms and transparency to support innovative idea generation.

Survey of Londoners 2
Barry Fong, Principal Social Policy Analyst at the Greater London Authority (GLA) will take us through the Survey of Londoners 2021-22. Conducted at the end of 2021, so just before the full effects of the cost-of-living crisis began to set in, it was commissioned to provide vital evidence on key social outcomes for Londoners, following the onset of COVID-19 and associated restrictions.
A similar survey was conducted in 2018-19, so this survey would show how things had changed in the capital since then.
Barry will go through some of the key findings from the survey before handing over to Michael Cheetham and Ellen Bloomer from the North East London Integrated Care Board, who collaborated with local authority partners to fund a sample boost for the survey within North East London. They will explain how they used the data, including the analyses, the results and how this impacted strategy and practice.

How can we support innovation to help people on low incomes?
The Workertech Partnership is a 3-year program by the Resolution Foundation to invest in social ventures that use technology to improve the lives of low-paid and insecure workers. It aims to help workers gain skills, a voice in the workplace, better job opportunities and work conditions. The program invests in startups and builds an ecosystem through events and research to understand workers' experiences. Current portfolio companies are developing tools for skills tracking, job comparisons, organizing workers, and supporting carers. The next steps include more ecosystem building activities and measuring the program's impact on workers.
Applying Community Insights into Policy
The document outlines plans by the London Policy and Strategy Network to better connect community insights to policy development. It discusses establishing an Insights Hub to showcase non-traditional community data, a learning network to share best practices, and supporting peer research. The network aims to improve how insights are collected, used, and embedded in policy by rebalancing power dynamics and valuing lived experience. It provides examples of past initiatives and outlines pilots for the Insights Hub and learning network to strengthen the connection between community voices and policymaking.
Civic Strengths Index
- The document aims to develop a definition of civic strength, understand its contributing domains in London, measure its distribution, and support the Building Strong Communities mission.
- It creates a Civic Strength Index framework measuring relationships/social capital, democratic engagement, and public/social infrastructure to provide a new lens for understanding community strengths.
- The index identifies data gaps that need filling to have a complete picture of civic strength distribution across London and support areas of opportunity.
Local Government Commission 2030
The APSE Local Government Commission 2030 report makes recommendations to revitalize and strengthen local government in the UK over the next decade. It calls for (1) enshrining local government's role and powers in a new constitutional settlement, (2) devolving more powers and services to local control through new Devolution Bills, and (3) establishing a long-term, sustainable funding model to ensure local authorities have sufficient resources to meet community needs. The report is based on extensive consultation and aims to address issues like inadequate funding, lack of democratic accountability, and workforce challenges facing local government.

Here are potential responses to your questions:
- While keeping the overall design grounded and realistic, incorporating some speculative/futuristic elements could help envision possibilities and spark imagination. Balance is key.
- Designing one flagship space as a proof of concept is realistic, but considering connections to the wider neighborhood context is important for accessibility and community buy-in.
- Reaching out directly to residents for input is ideal, but the council may have privacy concerns. Partnering with local community organizations who already have relationships/trust could be a good alternative for gathering perspectives.
- When contacting residents, framing it as student/academic research for a potential future council project, rather than a definite council initiative, allows for open discussion

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
