Levelling up: A Systems Thinking Approach
Levelling up is driven by good intentions and a desire to improve peoples lives. It’s backed by the enthusiasm of people and organisations across the private, public, education and third sectors all chomping at the bit to play their part and to make a real and measurable difference.
Delivering a real difference to people’s lives does however require a ‘system’ that aligns collective energy and resources towards a common vision and goal.
A ‘system’ needs to exist that integrates four essential pillars:
- Governance
- Strategy
- Funding
- Delivery institutions
All too often these four essential pillars are disconnected causing inefficiency, confusion, duplication, and unhealthy competition between stakeholders. This is an unfortunate consequence as all involved have the best intentions and want to make a real and positive difference – it’s the ‘system’ or the lack of a ‘system’ that causes disfunction.
To effectively align collective energy and resource towards #levellingup requires these four essential pillars to be effectively integrated within a ‘systems’ that can be flexed for different regional landscapes.
