Brilliant new blog from @joannabrownhert on the role of imagination in changing how we think about organisations, how they’re designed, and how things get done. Brilliant work to come from @AngryofAlton @flo_henry18 @solarpunk_girl @EmRoseBaz

@Fat_Jacques @samriley @kurtstat @VanguardMethod Hey thanks FJ!
SPC has certainly changed the way we look at performance measurement and we use it at the core of our stock control techniques too.
Great to see the work Sam is doing in the #NHS

[Ian Gilson @AngryofAlton]

The help from Arsenal and His Church has been excellent - full credit to both and good to see our @CamdenCouncil food hub crew in the photos 😊
So much great work has been done across Camden to keep people safe and fed during COVID 👏👏👏

“People at the top of the hierarchy, who may not have authentic experiences with the problem, have the authority to set targets”, leading those delivering services to not feel trusted& alter their behaviours to hit those targets.”

@Densditty @ChSuptDanEvans @CollegeofPolice Thanks Denis - that’s very kind from someone as knowledgable as you.
Always happy to chat and prompt thoughts on this topic: understanding demand is hugely important for police and partner organisations

@Fat_Jacques @iainmartin1 @VanguardMethod @SimonJGuilfoyle @flowchainsensei Ha! We’ll see you there

[Perfect Flow @perfect_flow]

@Fat_Jacques @iainmartin1 @VanguardMethod @SimonJGuilfoyle @flowchainsensei Very kind! Just pondering which category we would fit into 😁

When you're managing subordinates who know how to do what their doing
better than you do, you don't manage what they do, you manage the way
they interact. That requires a different type of organization and a different
type of management. #systemsthinking

‘Share the information. Look beyond the smokescreen. Act on it.’ @Dontlookback198 tells her story at @safelives_ #DomesticAbuse #onefrontdoor conference looking at a whole family approach with all our fantastic pilot projects. Powerful start to the day.

[Ian Whitehead @D_SuptWhitehead]

Great to be invited to share the learning at @safelives #onefrontdoor conference today. Real determination to take #multiagency #domesticabuse work to the next level. Some very passionate people and lots great work going on. @SuzanneEJacob

Please take 10 minutes to watch this video. Violence, drugs, mental health and substance misuse. It all starts with the trauma of being a child exposed to violence and abuse. BBC News - 'My childhood was fuelled by violence and abuse' https://t.co/FcJdVzW7FR

@D_SuptWhitehead @CCARhodes Lovely to see @CCARhodes getting out and about - I’m sure that was a boost for the team & I hope it was also useful to trigger more ideas and learning

[Ian Whitehead @D_SuptWhitehead]

Thanks to @CCARhodes for dropping in to meet some of the MARAC Domestic abuse review team today. Great to discuss how the team’s work can help inform our whole system public health approach to Safeguarding and supporting families suffering domestic abuse. @perfect_flow

It feels incredible that combustible insulation was ever a solution for cladding 😳
Tenants need to be safe and to feel safe.
Landlords must have accurate data on what materials are fitted in their properties & communicate clearly.
Govt must do more to help move this along.

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

High-pressure laminate (HPL) cladding should be removed if it is combined with combustible insulation, the government has said #ukhousing @MHCLG https://t.co/vmsgKvG1tN

[SafeLives @safelives_]

This morning we are pleased to issue a joint statement with domestic abuse charities and experts across the sector, explaining why it is so important we all take action if worried about someone's safety: https://t.co/9exF2uiK1o

@D_SuptWhitehead Lots of fantastic learning Ian and some real opportunities to help folk in need 👏👏👏

[Ian Whitehead @D_SuptWhitehead]

Today is the last day of the initial pilot testing and experimenting with the Lancashire MARAC model. Time to evaluate and reflect before proposals formed for next steps. Some amazing examples of how the team have safeguarded and supported vulnerable people. #multiagency
