Listening, learning and improving must be built into the culture of #delivery. A successful learning culture creates a community of people that are engaged, feel able to contribute, and enjoy each other’s challenge. Join our next #GettingStuffDone webinar: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…
If you’re out for a walk this morning, you couldn’t ask for better company than @RachelLaw2014 and Gemma Murphy!

When it comes to public service reform, public services have been experiencing “delivery paralysis”.In this article, @ProfDonnaHall & @aglaird explore why this is and what can be done about it.

.@aglaird talks to Helen Bailey, Chief Exec @SuttonCouncil who brings experience of senior roles in central AND local gov. Her view on the ‘bridge’ between central policy making & local delivery is invaluable #RadicalReformers mutualventures.co.uk/post/ra… #GetStuffDone #TotalPlace

🎧 This week’s #RadicalReformers guest is relational working pioneer, Helen Sanderson, known to us as a leading thinker, researcher and doer on #PersonCentred working.
Helen talks to @aglaird about her work setting up Wellbeing Teams in places like Wigan and Thurrock, and discusses her ongoing work with the Changing Futures Northumbria team.
This episode includes some very practical examples of what it takes to make person-centred support real. Spolier alert – it takes a lot of commitment, a lot of effort and the bravery to, as Helen calls it “work out loud and share what you’re learning as you do it”: mutualventures.co.uk/post/ra…

The traditional approach to finding efficiency savings in siloed services is fundamentally flawed. Speaking as a Consultant, we owe it to the public services we support to avoid reaching for the “tried and tested” efficiency solution. mutualventures.co.uk/post/th…

🎧 Earlier this year, @aglaird had an inspiring chat with Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) @greatermcr, Caroline Simpson @GMCA_CEO. We loved her 'all in' philosophy and true belief that all change starts by trusting that it can be done.

At Mutual Ventures, we believe in the power of public services to transform lives, especially for children and young people. To mark #InternationalYouthDay, we’re proud to spotlight our podcast episode with @martinpgriff, Trauma Surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust and Clinical Director for Violence Reduction at NHS London. Martin’s approach to violence reduction is a powerful example of how local leadership and lived experience of young people can drive meaningful change: mutualventures.co.uk/post/ra…

Really cool to have written this article for @themjcouk with @stkaye and @ProfDonnaHall
We argue that proper place-leadership and place-working is ready for the mainstream.
No more pilots - just the way we do things!
Chuffed to be in print alongside occasional partners-in-crime @aglaird and @ProfDonnaHall!
The place-based model for public service reform works. But we'll never get there with pilots. Our focus should be making sure the whole system is ready for the approach to go mainstream.

The place-based approach is ready for the mainstream – so it’s important that the system around it is too, say Dr Simon Kaye @restate_thinks & Andrew Laird and Professor Donna Hall @MutualVentures

On the @mutualventures podcast I talk to @andrewlaird about rethinking the role of place in generative economies, mutualism and more #TheWorkWeNeed
I loved the convo and you can listen in here mutualventures.co.uk/post/ra…
Council and MCA/Strategic Authority leaders need to be paying attention to the message @HilaryCottam puts across in her new book “The Work We Need”. I think it will inspire them to take a step back and (re)consider their role as anchor institutions and convenors of “place”.
🎧 In the latest episode of #RadicalReformers, @aglaird welcomes renowned public service innovator and author, @HilaryCottam. They discuss the importance of place and the role of local institutions in fostering healthy, fulfilling lives and creating #TheWorkWeNeed. Listen here: mutualventures.co.uk/post/ra…
