Breaking the cycle: the outcomes model of public service? (Nesta)

In a guest blog feature for Nesta’s UK 2040 Options series, BOP’s Grace Duffy and Mila Lukic dig into how outcomes partnerships are providing a new, more preventative, holistic and localised alternative to public service delivery across the UK.

“This new paradigm recognises that what it takes to achieve positive outcomes is going to be different for everyone. It recognises that different places have different assets and priorities. It recognises that building on people’s strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses provides a better basis for sustained change. […]

“Embracing this new approach to public services requires a change in mindset from commissioners and policy-makers. Breaking the cycle requires boldness and innovation. And if we get it right, the potential prize is huge.”
