Reshaping Services at a Local Level - Understanding What

Really MattersSimon Pickthall - Vanguard Cymru

Vanguard Consulting Ltd

Purpose of This Session

• To discuss how organisations are traditionally designed and managed - and, therefore, why they find it hard to understand what matters.

• To explore counter-intuitive ways to design and manage organisations so they can understand what matters.

Vanguard Consulting Ltd

Solving Problems

“We have more work than we can deal with”. “Morale is low”. “Costs are increasing”. !

How are these traditionally tackled?

“Most people imagine that the present style of management has always existed, and is a fixture. Actually, it is a modern invention – a prison created by the way in which people interact.”W. Edwards Deming

and the children’s lives.”

• What Ruth received: • The same anger management course twice for two boys • The same parenting programme twice • Help cleaning one bedroom • Toilet frame, perching stool and bath board for a bath she

could not access • Family intervention programme

• Between 1996 and 2012 Ruth had 129 different interactions with public-sector agencies. From running a successful business with her first husband she deteriorated to having ill health, her children removed and being entirely dependent on the public purse.

• Ruth was taken on by one of the new ‘Wellbeing’ teams piloting locality working; she is now in suitable accommodation with her children and her situation has stabilised.

The Long Weekend…

Vanguard Consulting Ltd

What matters to people in these systems?!

• “Just talk about what matters to me” • “Understand my specific concerns, don’t use a

menu of services to solve problems you think I have.”

• “Feeling valued – feeling I contribute – social involvement”

• “Be transparent in your work” • “Wanting to be independent” • “A key person – one point of contact”

Vanguard Consulting Ltd

Different Thinking - Different Solutions• We start from the demand in a locality, and

design public services to meet that demand. • This is not the same as changing local authority

boundaries. • This is not the same as ‘co-location’ - co-location is

necessary but not sufficient. • This is radical redesign of the entire public

service from first principles - restructure across existing organisations based on knowledge of local demand.

• Common Purpose, Common Measures, Common Principles

Vanguard Consulting Ltd

Common Purpose

“Help Me Live a Good Life or Die a Good Death.”
