ICS development
Guided by the latest academic and industry research, we build thriving collaborations and develop systems that create measurable value.
Using a methodology based on the characteristics of effective collaborations, we guide organisations to understand their collaboration’s strengths and weaknesses.
- Creating a firm foundation for collaboration and system development
This involves bringing together a leadership team or representative ‘guiding coalition’ who co-develop a clear purpose, required ways of working, scope of development work needed to enable these, and a robust theory of change to guide all efforts. This is done while also taking into account national, regional and local system priorities and programmes. - Effective collaboration development activity and delivery
We support you in building awareness of and appetite for the shared purpose. This includes gaining buy-in for the desired future state and agreement about the capacities and capabilities needed to enable these. And co-developing rapid cycles of testing to reflect on, improve and enable new ways of working. - Setting up for the future
This includes celebrating successes and sharing lessons to determine which interventions to drop or adopt/adapt and scale. We help you identify the systems, processes, culture and leadership behaviours needed to reinforce and sustain your progress.
