What we did… We created a small and temporary team We explored whether CTax debt is a good signal of We tried a wider need? holistic approach We agreed on some basic rules and principles We built a network We focussed upon a single purpose: “Help me to thrive”
Case Study: ‘Mary’ • Call out of the blue from employee • Acted from visit one – food, power • No light source, bar the TV • Many agencies got involved via a pull • Mould everywhere • Got the place clean, got the GP out • Huge utility debt • Sorting utilities and finances • Isolated, not eating much • Police investigating COST: £1600 + • Potential £ abuse • Neighbours involved 30 visits • Freezing: layers of clothes • Daily visits • Smell of urine, psoriasis on head • Learning difficulties • She looks up • Would not look up • She looks better • “This is desperate” – GP • She cleans • “The worse I’ve seen” – Police Sgt • She eats • She has her money, a bank account
What happened? - 1,500+ actions - @70 people contacted to help 15 CTax signal - 70% (28) are happier with their 30 ‘Tangled’ life and their prospects have 25 referrals improved - 6 (15%) were no better, still declining 40 people - Over 50% of those helped saw 6 ‘Trapped’ positive action that made a difference to them on the first 2 not engaging encounter 2 “won’t pays” Team morale high No one wants to ‘go back’ Total cost @£70k - £60 staff costs for 6 months - £10k for casework costs

What are your key takeaways? Do you recognise any shared challenges/opportunities?
Radical New Models of Commissioning: Human, Learning, Systems Dr. Toby Lowe Newcastle Business School
Summary • What does working in complexity mean? • Implications of complexity for commissioners • Embracing complexity: Human Learning Systems
What does it mean to work in complex environments?
Complexity People are complex Issues are complex Systems are complex = embrace complexity, because life is complex
Implications for commissioning OUTCOMES ARE NOT DELIVERED BY ORGANISATIONS! The outcomes we desire are emergent properties of complex systems
The purpose of commissioning • Commissioners DO NOT purchase services which deliver outcomes • Commissioners DO nurture the systems from which outcomes emerge - enabling collaboration and coordination They commission activity which: • Responds to human variety • Adapts to change
Commissioning practice No more: • Process specification • Output targets • Outcome targets
So what else can we do?
Key ideas Funding, Commissioning and Managing in complexity involves: Being Human to one another: put on your VEST Learning and adaptation: improvement requires continuous learning Systems : Nurture healthy systems in order to create positive outcomes – be a System Steward
