13. About today
• First stage in the process
• Designed to help us understand what the key
issues are so we know the key questions to
ask
• Help provide the depth of understanding
• Around 150 organisations taking part across 8
events

14. What are my issues!?
• Spend 5 minutes writing down all the issues you think are important on
the post-it notes provided.
• We will use all of these as part of the evidence gathering process so please
write them down in a way that can be understood by others!
• To help stimulate your ideas….think about issues that relate to you as an
individual within the sector, your organisation and the area of your activity
(community, young people, older people etc). Are these related to day to
day operational issues, the result of specific strategies/policies or wider
issues with the way the system works or how we approach/perceive
certain issues?
• Now with the person sat next to you spend 15min identifying a single
top 5 issues between you.
• Finally as a table spend 20 min identifying your top 5 issues as a table.

15. What does good look like?
• Tables A: in terms of VCS infrastructure
support
• Tables B: in terms of overall services and
support available to people
• Two columns

• Change part way through – Add extra to the
sheets

16. The Right Interfaces
• We want to facilitate the building of strong,
productive and collaborative interfaces with the
sector and NCC to address important issues and
span three key levels:
– The shaping of strategic thinking to collaboratively
develop the future landscape of Norfolk.
– Supporting the development of the mechanisms for
the effective translation of that strategic vision into
delivery.
– Operational collaboration, coordination and
integration to ensure effective, user centred, on the
ground delivery.
