What we aim to cover • Background and context • Challenges and Barriers • Analysis of findings • Focus on leadership • Conclusions and Recommendations
Why place based agreements? Localism, localism, localism…… “ It’s not my job to sit behind my desk like some sort of puppet master, pulling at the strings, taking all the decisions….so instead of red tape and regulation, instead of instructions and inspection, we’re giving councils what they’ve wanted to decades. Freedom. Power. Responsibility” Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government” 13th October 2010
Our changing landscape • financial changes • service user expectations • policy changes • institutional changes

The Landscape – example Domestic Abuse Duplicate processes Duplicate resources Complex short term funding arrangements No strategic picture of the problem Lack of understanding of the victim requirements £m’s could be saved through a co-ordinated approach with better service to the victim

Challenges to place based approaches • Lack of: • shared mission • buy in • empowerment and ownership • willingness to give things up (zero sum gain) • trust and confidence • Too focused on architecture and process not outcomes • Designed from existing architecture • Incremental not radical • Fail to engage all levels of the organisation • Different performance frameworks • Culture • Risk appetite • Change overload
Expanded Horizons: Learning from Abroad • Trust • Leadership • Scale • Focus • Be prepared to fail • Shared vocabulary
The Solution • - Leadership • Culture • - One Direction • Agreed outcomes • Shared missions • Aligned delivery • - Sovereignty and Governance
Leadership Behaviours: What works elsewhere Strategy Integrity Leadership space Succession planning
Leadership Behaviours: What Can Work in Kent Leadership Honesty Integrity Focus Energy Openness Maturity Humility Courage • Leaders • Visible and accessible • Communication and language • Resilient • Confident • Energy and commitment • Open to change and sharing leadership space • Asking the right questions ‘Leave your ego and preconceived ideas at the door’
Leadership Behaviours: What Can Work in Kent Strategic leadership is responsible for culture Effective strategic leaders will build a culture that supports strategy Organisational culture eats strategy for breakfast The single most visible factor that distinguishes successful culture change efforts from failed attempts is competent leadership at the top
Leadership Behaviours: Summary • Leadership and followership • Leadership and boundaries • Leadership and culture • Leadership and strategy
The Solution • - Leadership • Culture • - Shared Vision • Agreed outcomes • Shared missions • Aligned delivery • - Sovereignty and Governance
Shared vision and sovereignty CURRENT STATE AGENCY = PROBLEM FAMILIES
Shared vision and sovereignty COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERSHIP MODEL MORE ALIGNMENT AND COOPERATION
Shared vision and sovereignty COST EFFECTIVE PLACE BASED
Conclusions • Common and shared direction • Joint business change approaches – i.e. Lean • True shared resources • Developing relationships • Outcomes not targets • Developing leadership • Right culture and not simply structures • Make a plan and stick to it
Recommendations – next 6 months • Identify 3 cross-agency areas – task each Ambition Board to conduct a Multi-Agency Lean event – and bring the recommendations re sharing and jointly commissioning services and commitments arising back to the Kent Forum
