The meaning of readiness
• There are no ‘green field sites’• Wide variation in ‘where we are
now’• Different aspirations• Different understandings of
‘possible’ and ‘desirable’• Differences of available ‘technology’
and current ‘practice’
3
The meaning of readiness
The emphasis is on self assessment • Our working assumption is that self
assessment is an important part of a learning process.
• Long term evaluation of outcomes achievement starts at partnership formation.
4
The dimensions of readiness
• Against all of the FAME building blocks.
• In each building block assessed through a series of statements.

Scaling progress
• On a scale of 1 -4 what does 4 mean to your partnership for each building block?
• Can you rate where you are? – evidence?
• At different participation levels (service users, service delivery, corporate commissioning)?
7
Scaling progress
• 1 No progress – • this issue has not been addressed yet
• 2 Some progress – • but greater understanding of the
issue/resource availability would help
• 3 Real progress is being made• But some way to go
• 4 We are confident we have completed/achieved this
8
Using the self assessment process
• Facilitated workshops either at each level or with a cross section of levels?
• Collection of evidence – surveys?• Action plan arising from EFQM
question on each building block?• Defining intermediate outcomes
with an emphasis on participation?
9
Outputs
• Radar chart• Action plans - what would getting to the
next rating mean?• Learning inherent in the process and
further learning identified• Preparation for the business case.• Preparation for the partnership
agreement including resource commitments.

Self assessment tool
• There is an excel version on the FAME web site
• We are working on linking the readiness statements to parts of the generic framework text.

Sample RAT statement
• Scoping Statement and Business Case development– Leadership
• A small ‘promotional group’ has been formed, drawn from key agencies to take the lead in establishing the scope of the project
12
Link to Framework text
• If a new partnership has to be formed it will need to be championed by a small promotional group to bring the partnership into being. This group will have the following tasks:– Mapping the environment of the partnership– Putting forward its intended outcomes, researching
the legal and policy framework– Identifying the proposed multi agency practice– Describing the appropriate level of information sharing– Proposing the partnership membership and
governance arrangements
