  7. www.nwleics.gov.uk Case Study2012 • PARO • January 2012 • Police Force Area • November Event

  8. www.nwleics.gov.uk What did the election feel like? • A bit of a musical performance • Composers – Home Office and Electoral Commission • Performing singers and promoters – PAROS as the only act on the bill • Support bands/orchestras - LROs

  9. Composers • Composing something quite different to before • Have changed the date of the event • Given some outline of the “musical score” without the full detail • Expect the final performance to be perfect • Will take legal action if it is not

  10. PARO role • To understand and “guess” what the musical score is rather than wait. • To treat all LROs and election staff as equals • First meeting 14th February 2012

  11. “One Team” • Meet regularly • Joint decisions – one team • Signed undertaking to mitigate risks • Bespoke joint training sessions • Regular dialogue and discussion • Joint protocols • Shared time to think and prepare

  12. www.nwleics.gov.uk Local Planning and Preparation • Project plans and risk assessments – drawn up early and revisited regularly • Weekly Project Team meetings • Monthly attendance at Election Officer meetings • Monthly updates to District Chief Executive meetings • Updates to other LROs as required • Monthly updates to Police Strategic Transition Board meetings • Home Office seminars

  13. Lessons learned from the performance: Directions – less is more Be flexible –what works for one, may not work for another Acknowledge local issues Experience – there is a lot of it out there. Don’t be afraid to ask Enjoy, celebrate successes Focus on what you know www.nwleics.gov.uk

  14. PAROs “faced the music” in November • Final election announcement on 16th November • Performance will end “when the fat lady sings”

  15. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WHAT QUESTIONS WOULD YOU WISH TO ASK ME?

  16. “NOT WHAT THEY DO, IT’S ABOUT WHY THEY DO IT” • Understanding drivers • Behaviour • Values • Patterns of behaviour • Profile – not a competition

  17. MANAGING “SELF” • Impact on “logical levels” • Its rarely personal • E + R = O • “All done with positive intent” • Match, Pace, Lead

  18. SURVIVAL • Judgement – own plus others • Awareness of self • Information/knowledge be interested • Political antennae • Know when to leave alone, • know when to stand your ground • Coaching brings success
