Co-production

"User and community co-production of public services and outcomes is about public service organisations and citizens making better use of each other’s assets, resources and contributions to achieve better outcomes or improve efficiency."

Governance International

 

 

 


How does the Co-Production Star toolkit help you?

Our Co-production Star toolkit provides you with a systematic framework to help you improve outcomes and make savings.

It has been developed from and is backed up by more than 70  detailed case studies, many of which are now also published by the OECD Observatory of Public Service Innovation.  

In a five step process, it shows you how public services can work more effectively with service users and local communities in order to improve public value.

The Four Co’s in the inner ring of the Co-Production Star provide an integrated cycle of co-commissioning, co-design, co-delivery and co-assessment for your service or local area. They demonstrate different ways of putting co-production into practice. They also show how local people, public service staff and elected politicians can play different roles and make better use of their strengths and capabilities.

The Five Steps in the outer ring of the Co-Production Star - Map It! Focus It! People It! Market It! Grow It! - provide you with tools for implementing the Four Co’s to improve outcomes.

The Governance International Co-Production Star toolkit is featured in the Resource of the Scottish Co-Production Network.  It highlights our co-production project PRESENT with East Dunbartonshire Council and the Joint Improvement Team. This national pilot project breaks new ground by using our Co-Production Star to explore the ways in which people living with dementia can not only make a contribution to public services but can also use their strengths and capabilities to become a 'pillar' for other people in their family, personal network and local community. The project was shortlisted for Scotland’s Dementia Awards 2016.

"The co-production project PRESENT has helped East Dunbartonshire Council and its partners to make substantial progress on their dementia journey.
Governance International provided highly valuable guidance through its Co-Production Star toolkit and its large set of inspiring international case studies. This joint work has delivered social innovations locally and provided initial evidence of improved wellbeing of people living with dementia. We will now build on these achievements to roll-out co-production in other areas of our work in social care and health."

Outcome-Based Commissioning Training - CPD Certified

Are you a commissioner grappling with growing service demand or DToCs targets from DH? Or facing the next rounds of budget cuts? Or have you simply  come to the conclusion that there is a need to commission public service differently but you are still not quite sure how?

The Governance International Public Value Model provides you with an innovative framework and smart ways of achieving public value through outcome-based commissioning. Read our outcome-based commissioning blog to find out how our Public Value Model works.

Most importantly, learn in our one-day outcome-based commissioning training workshop how to make effective use of it in your organisation or partnership. Our highly inter-active training course has been certified by the CPD Standards Office. It provides commissioners and other senior leaders in public service organisations with world class speakers, cutting-edge research, inspiring case studies and the chance to learn from peers in your service, so that you can implement outcome-based commissioning effectively in your organisation and partnerships.

Check out our outcome-based commissioning training course and get in touch with tony.bovaird@govint.org to discuss how we can tailor our training programme to your needs.

The Governance International Co-production Star takes you through a tested five-stage transformation programme which will embed co-production in your commissioning, design, delivery and assessment of services.

Explore our pilot PRESENT with East Dunbartonshire Council, the East Dunbartonshire dementia network and the former Joint Improvement Team to understand how a full co-production approach has improved the wellbeing of people living with dementia in East Dunbartonshire.

In Wales we have partnered with Public Governance Wales to realise the ‘community leadership’ role of Welsh local government. We support councils in Wales to co-produce improved wellbeing outcomes with communities for the benefit of current and future generations drawing on a strong heritage of community participation in Wales.
