The Problem
The Finance and BI teams from across the Gloucestershire System needed to improve networking and establish areas of common ground because not addressing this problem would result in teams continuing to work in organisations silo’s. As a System we are stronger together.
The Challenges
- How can we establish common ground so that we can build bridges between teams and become more effective as a System?
- How do we identify what the teams require so that we can build on the momentum and enthusiasm?
- How do we establish core / discretionary areas of common ground so that we share approaches, techniques and learning and become more effective as a System?
The Outputs
6 x System wide networking events to date with in excess of 100 attendees per event; monthly steering group sessions; System wide staff survey with actions; randomised coffee trials; establishing core groups for areas of common interest going forward
The Outcomes
Improved networking, sharing best practice, getting to know each other and establishing opportunities for closer working in the future
