DESCRIPTION
Catherine-Rose Stocks-Rankin (IRISS Associate) shares some of the findings from her work exploring the impact of IRISS using contribution analysis
Citation preview
IRISS Champions Event 2014
In a world of complexity …
What is our contribution?
IRISS’ outcomes
• Embed a culture of collaboration, open to new ideas
• Ensure everyone has the knowledge, tools and skills to effectively use evidence and innovate
• Place people at the centre of the design of services and support
But how can we know?
CA gives us a pathway
And six steps to follow
CA = Six steps
1. Define the issue and create a cause/effect question2. Develop a theory of change/logic model and the risks to its success3. Generate evidence4. Write a ‘contribution story’ 5. Test the story and collect more evidence6. Revise strengthen and share
We’ve built our own approach to CA
We use a set of tools
Collaboration
Logic models

We identify barriers and enablers to

Attitudes identified that
hinder access to self-directed support and encourage
organisations to overcome these

We lead thinking on designing

Changes in knowledge, skills or capacityActivities Changes in awareness Changes in behaviour or practice
Five partners + IRISS
Partner capacity to support peer-learning and to
develop and carry out a small-scale
intervention
Evidence on outcomes-
focused models of support and
supervision from IRISS
Partner knowledge about current models of supervision and barriers/supports
to outcomes-focused ways of
working
Group-based peer-support with
developing supervision in the
sector
Small-scale interventions in
the sector to develop
supervision
IRISS values the model of group
learning as a way of learning about peer-support and
adapts as necessary
Partners and IRISS value the peer-support on supervision and
share challenges/enablers
throughout
Partners value their intervention
as a useful way to change practice and embedd a
culture of outcomes-
focused working
Partner organisations
value and support the intervention
IRISS learns about barriers/
enablers to peer-support and
develop a model for group learning
Partners and IRISS learn from one another and share resources
and ways of working
Partners and partner
organisations learn about their
own model of supervision and
develop a response which
improves supervision and
achieves some of their outcomes
New knowledge about using a model of peer-
support to create culture change
New knowledge about supervision
models in the sector
Improved capacity
(resources, skills) for outcomes-
focused supervision
Outcomes-focused thinking
is more embedded in
partner organisations
IRISS uses learning from
project to develop its approaches to projects as well as new work on
peer-support and/or outcomes
Small-scale interventions in supervision are adopted more
widely in practice
Outcomes-focused ways of working adopted more widely in
practice

What’s it really been like?
Another example – Champs!
IRISS is the lynchpin◦ They bring everyone together
◦ Everyone is working in isolation - no one has the time to bring everyone together
◦ IRISS is our facilitator - gets the conversation started, but doesn’t monopolize it
◦ ‘Yes and’ approach - Don’t think I’ve met anyone at IRISS who didn’t say ‘yes, and...’
◦ Its less about being critiqued - compared to engaging with SSSC, Care Inspectorate and others
◦ IRISS is in a unique position
Send electronic versions out to staff “but don’t get emails back (and wouldn’t expect to)”
Will write a bit of a blurb if its about a project and IRISS is recruiting or soliciting involvement
I don’t do a whitewash
Put the paper versions in the lunch area
The good thing about the paper resources is that people are more likely to read them
The electronic communications can get lost in other priorities in the inbox
Changes in awareness◦ It’s valuable to be in a network of like-minded people
◦ So I don’t feel alone
◦ I’m learning a lot, but haven’t done anything with it yet –although I’ve recognised the to create more space in my role to think strategically
Changes in practice◦ Using IRISS resources in training and teaching, e.g.
Leading for Outcomes Guides
◦ Feeding back to IRISS – “two-way communication” about future projects and feedback on current work
At [our organisation], we strive for innovation and creativity but I also know we go around in circles
For example - we’re now dealing with the fourth generation of families who live with deprivation -we’re not breaking the cycles
A body like IRISS works on your behalf to strengthen that common voice
We’re struggling to survive - don’t use all the knowledge and expertise that we should do -time is an issue
The work we do could be more far-reaching
IRISS is up-to-date - aware of the current issues
Range of ways they’re communicating
Value the innovation, but haven’t engaged as greatly with that side
IRISS is a source of support - they know how to do things - when you’re struggling they can tell you what’s going on in other areas
IRISS is a trusted source -I hope it continues for a long time to come
We know it takes a long time to engage in knowledge, evidence and innovation - it’s such a huge change to embed that amongst practice
Never been quite sure what I’m supposed to do
Time is a major barrier - something has always gotten in the way
We’re quite innovative as an organisation - don’t need to be pushed
Will flag IRISS resources up and put them out to the teams – but I don’t work with practitioners directly
Insights - always find the resources really useful
IRISS ONs - not sure about them - not telling me anything I didn’t already know
So much information - a pack a week (!)
Load of IRISS stuff is on the tables - still sitting about
We missed some opportunities with IRISS lately due to changes in organisations
There’s plethora of people to help you - the landscape can be a bit cluttered
For example – SSSC is supporting leadership and other organisations offering support with SDS
Leadership, working with carers, outcomes, supervision - the organisation isn’t ready to engage with all of this
As a Champ, I raise awareness - get people to engage – I can influence the organisation
But can only deliver so much
Longer, more in-depth, conversations
Invite IRISS to the monthly meetings - always bring life and meaning to the discussions
We should meet throughout the year
Champs events help keep the momentum going
More?
Where do we want to go next?
Multiple roles in different organisations or senior strategic roles
Role tend to sit between organisations
Suits the sharing of information acrossorganisational/sector boundaries
Champs can see opportunities as well as barriers to innovating, using evidence, etc.
Can build relationships between workplaces
Can be flexible and develop work in multiple organisations/areas
Sit between senior level strategy and operations
One role that spans different parts of an organisation
Role is suited the dissemination and sharing of good practice information across the organisation
Can work on small-scale practice developments and/or organisation-wide strategic developments
Receives feedback from across the organisation
Atends high-level strategic meetings but can also interact with practice
Learning/development roles
Harmonies between practice development role and Champion role
Professional role involves consideration of barriers and enablers to learning and practice change - can involve learning about developments in the sector
In training role - has direct responsibility for changing practice
Multiple relationships across different practice departments
