One other takeaway: these changes are made possible by management working in the service of the people who are served AND do the work. Does that make productivity gains at local level easier? Are there lessons for central government to be learned to focus on frontline result?.

@AndyWWestwood of @TPIProductivity reflections: 1) secure “permission” to innovate is key; 2) build capacity to innovate; 3) need to share best practices and diffusion. How to balance “banking” the savings vs. incentivising further productivity gains?

#SouthCambridgeshire on #4day working week to tackle staff shortages and low productivity. Retention and recruitment up. Well-being very positive. Plenty data publicly available. Service delivery stayed strong, 11 of 24 performance indicators were up. Net saving £371.500.

#Wakefield: #children #care placement stability and de-escalation of complex places; focus on “problem-seeking” and “problem-solving” methods. Better outcomes (less placement out of area; greater placement stability), lower cost e.g. accommodation cost down). #Ofsted approval.

#Barking & #Dagenham: connecting #data at local level from social care, fiscal and schools: Case summaries; dashboards and proactive outreach. Better outcomes, saving hours. Not only needs resources, but also good legislation on data-sharing, and show-case to learn.
