1. Reimagining Years 2&3

2. • Today is about how we work together going
forward
• The focus is on reimagining years 2 & 3
• Promote the VCSE sector objective of developing
an upstream conversation
• Promote the VCSE sector objective of a people
focused approach to reimagining
• Support positive interaction between VCSE and
NCC

take forward

interface for the sector

broad representation, legitimacy and
networks to communicate effectively with

9. • 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

10. • 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

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

12. Innovation
Virtuosity
& Bravura

13. • 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

14. “Partnership is the
suppression of mutual
hatred in the pursuit of a
funding opportunity”
– head of housing, not in Norfolk

15. 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

16. Partnership is
fundamentally about
people and
relationships

17. Fundamental areas of
agreement
• Achieving the best possible
outcomes for the people of
Norfolk
• Prevention is better than cure

18. • 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
