  1. A Shifting Landscape Leading Learning February 2012

  2. Shifting Plates • A 25-30% reduction in public expenditure frontloaded in year one for local government • A fundamental shift from Big Government to Big Society

  3. Shifting Plates • Less resources means:- • Organisational rationalisation • More focus on efficiency in the short term • More focus on effectiveness in the longer term • A desire to find different ways of working • Arguments about priorities • Less people • But all the same needs and demands to deliver better public services

  4. Shifting Plates • A shift from Big Government to Big Society means • Less state direction and intervention! • Localism (councils or schools, GPs & communities) • Devolution and diversity (Post Code lotteries!) • Local choice and personalisation • Sector/professional led improvement

  5. The Challenges for Culture & Sport • Leadership deficits (across the board but mainly in councils) • Fragmentation without collaboration (in delivery arrangements and relationships) • Poor performance and management weaknesses exposed (only the best may survive) • Inertia • Uncertainty • Fear • Tiredness • Motivation

  6. The Opportunities for culture & sport • Innovation and transformational change (are we able to adapt to deliver more with less) • Localism, prevention and personalisation and commissioning • Public health reform (GP commissioning and local public heath) • Aging well • Academies and free schools • Civil alienation and unrest

  7. Leadership- personal resilience • Self Belief - the extent to which an individual has confidence in their ability. • Optimism - the extent to which an individual believes that they will experience good outcomes in life. • Purposeful Direction - the extent to which an individual has clear goals that they are committed to achieving. • Adaptability - the extent to which an individual is willing to adapt their behaviour and approach to changing circumstances. • Ingenuity - the extent to which an individual perceives they are capable of finding solutions to problems that they encounter. • Challenge Orientation - the extent to which an individual enjoys and learns from experiences which challenge them. • Emotion Regulation - the extent to which an individual is able to remain calm and in control of their emotions in stressful situations. • Support Seeking - the extent to which an individual is willing to ask others for help and support.

  8. Leadership-resilient organisations ... • Continually improve by learning from themselves and others- adjust to new conditions quickly and efficiently. • Horizon scan and plan ahead – get and stay ahead of the game not behind the pace. • Avoid system and cultural ‘redundancy’ - have the capacity to continue operating in spite of significant organisational shocks. • Diversify their offer- avoid being dependent on one market and one funder andspread the risk. • Remain flexible and responsive – by encouraging innovation.
