How can the most person
centred way of working for us
also be the most efficient?
How do we move from a culture of ‘Them and us’ to
one of ‘I and We’?
How do we continue to be successful in a way that
helps to build a fair, healthy and just world
around us?

Finding the common good – I’s becoming We’s
This would seem to be about introducing thecommon good into public service organisation.

Cooperation and Motivation - Research Lessons
Self Determination Theory – I’s• Maximum performance - Intrinsic Motivation• Money and fear – short term at best
• Relatedness– Belonging and shared transcendent purpose
• Autonomy– Being able to act with choice
• Competence– Personal growth and developing mastery
11
Cooperation and Motivation - Research Lessons
Lessons from social psychology and game theory• People will cooperate to create common goods! – We’s
• Boundaries and Membership– Purpose, joining, rights, and responsibilities
• Communication between members– Not up and down, but member to member
• Reputation & punishment– A public record of your behaviour and the ability to influence others

12
Finding the common good
• What is the common good that underpins your organisation?– Who relies on this ‘commons’?– What resources do they depend on together?– How do they recognise contribution & growth and
punish freeloaders?– Why should they pull together?

What matters to Us
28
Organisation around common interest and skills
Time 2 Meet• Help members to build stronger social lives
with people around them by sharing, skills interests and time.
Members join• What would you like to do• What have you done in the past• Find Common Interests• Help people to make these things happen
29
Time to Meet – Organising for cooperation
• Member based – Common purpose created to solve a common problem
• Self organising – Members work with each other to find their own ways
of putting in place the things they want.
• Evidence of contribution – Leadership and time credits enable members to demonstrate their
contribution and reputation in the group
• Accountability– Members are accountable to the group, people can tell each other off
(nicely).

The Consortium – how we are organised currently
33
8 Networks of People, each with approx33 people receiving 2200 hours of support per week
90 staff and managers (1 Registered Manager)15 to 20 actively involved family members10 Local Authority care management staff
We support about 275 people with learning disabilities to live the lives that they choose in South West Wales.
What Matters to Us
Aims to:• Change each of our Networks into social
organisations that meet the support needs and personal interests of their members using as few resources as possible.
• This will take up to 2 years to work across all networks.
• It will not take extra money but it will take time and effort.

Future vision - revisited
44
*Sense of personal development What matters to me – demand led design minimising waste, greater intrinsic motivation
*Cooperation around shared needs and personal interests.
Time 2 Meet – we are all assets in the system, building confidence, sharing power
*Significant rationing of personal support.*Pulling together not falling apart.*Relying on shared financial and social resources.*Rewarding contribution and punishing freeloading.*Comradery in troubled times.
What Matters to Us Helping people to be prepared to pool support and things like transport.Building a sense of identity and common purposeTime & skills become currencies alongside money
People are already holding each other to account for the contribution they make.People are more prepared to campaign together.
