How that works in practice Improvement Self- evaluation framework with ACE SROI analysis with Transported CPP
Challenge complacency Don’t allow real or imagined obstacles to block the vision Embed the changes in the culture Consult Create short-term gains Don’t declare victory too soon Create teams with enough power to lead the change Communicate the vision Use the power of the vision Adapted from John P Kotter, “Leading Change” Question values & unhelpful practice New ideas into a new vision Make real through communication Behaviours change Culture adopted Unfreeze Refreeze
Two learning and improvement approaches Story of Change (used for social impact) Plan, Do, Review, (used for self evaluation)

What they have in common Three stages – Drivers, Delivery, Difference? (a diagnostic; impact) – Plan, Do, Review (reflection; learning)
A ‘causal chain’ In a way we can review and show impact What we do How do drivers and plans inform
There is an evaluation tendency to focus on what we do In a way we can review and show impact What we do How do drivers and plans inform
A holistic approach is wider In a way we can review and show impact What we do How do drivers and plans inform
It emphasises the START and the END In a way we can review and show impact What we do How do drivers and plans inform Needs & Baseline & plans Impact & Review
Holistic quality cycle What is the causal chain linking our plans with young people’s needs (shown by a baseline) and with delivery? How does it lead to impact on young people and how do we review our plans? How does quality thread through that? How does collaboration (including with young people and the workforce) thread through that? How would we know we were doing a good job?
