as leaders not because they are personally
exceptional, senior or inspirational to others,
but because they can see what needs doing
and can work with others to do it”

a common vision. The ability to direct individual
accomplishment toward organisational
objectives. It is the fuel that allows common
people to attain uncommon results”

WORKING WITH PARTNERS
Working with Partners
Share some case studies....
• Opportunities and Challenges
• Tips for managing change in successful
partnerships
Health Services Management Centre - Uni of Birmingham
Working with community groups, voluntary bodies, other
public sector organisations, businesses, patients, members
of the public or groups of staff
• Change or improvement is achieved through inclusive
partnership working
• The scale of achievement could not have been made without
the contribution of partners
• All organisations have made a significant contribution to the
achievement of the aims of other partner organisations that
has benefitted the local community
Types of partnership
Co-operate: Partners may share information. No joint
planning, resources are kept separate
Co-ordinate: Partners will do some planning
together. Sharing and responsibilities, resources and
risks
Collaborate: Organisational changes so that there is a
higher degree of shared leadership, control, resources
and risk sharing

Physical Activity Strategy
Background to Partnership
• Physical Activity Strategy due for renewal 2010
• Usually led by PH and the PCT
• Originally asked to do the narrative
• Actions and outcomes needed to come from the
providers of service – what could be measured,
what would be an improvement etc
Physical Activity Strategy - before
• Quarterly meetings with floating attendance from 8
organisations
• Attended either by lowest grade member of staff
due to time commitments, or ‘the figurehead’
• Low grade staff – unable to influence and engage
higher levels re strategy or data collection
• The figurehead – never gained buy-in across the
organisation as they were the ‘doer’
• 2 years later – still no actions/outcomes identified by
provider organisations
Physical Activity Strategy - before
• No one organisation can deliver the strategy
• Needed buy in from all organisations
• Group discussed operational rather than
strategic issues
• Repetitive minutes !!!
• Standing still between meetings
• Cycle of non-attendance, repetition, nil action

A Bad Partnership
• A good thing to do, but nobody’s priority
• No decision maker (s)
• No overall responsibility for partnership’s delivery
• Being done for appearance’s sake
• ? Used as a talking shop and ‘woe are we’
• A breather from the day job
Next Steps
Survey to:
• Identify strategic & operational leads from each
organisation
• Whether PAS is a priority for the organisations
• What could be done differently/better
• Results to go to Health and Wellbeing Board
• Board to clarify if a priority
• Potentially, this Board will then provide leadership
and accountability focus.
Managing change through effective partnerships
• Scale of change: NHS wide, local, team
• Responses to change
• Stakeholders: Public, colleagues, organisations
• Signposting: Tools for managing change
