This one-day, interactive event will explore how to grow social enterprise and co-operative models for public services, to improve outcomes and meet challenges for the future.
In the context of some public services not meeting people’s needs, poor outcomes for some of those most in need of support, and ever-increasing financial pressures, this event will explore how successful social enterprise and co-operative models can be scaled.
This is of particular importance given the context of the new public procurement rules coming into force in October 2024 and the pending General Election.
Aimed at:
The event is based on E3M’s Alchemy methodology, bringing together the experience of innovative social enterprise leaders, bold commissioners responsible for public services, and funders and social investors. Mixed groups of participants will work together in a series of facilitated sessions, to identify key things that need to happen to develop and scale new approaches for services.
This is not an exhaustive list, but the topics to be focussed on will include areas such as:
Prior to the event, each participant will choose a topic and receive some corresponding background information. During the event, vignette presentations will precede the facilitated sessions, and at the end of the day, each group will generate feedback to present to a high-level panel. After the event, the results will be shared in a learning document.
The full set of challenge areas is being finalised, and bookings are expected to open in early May.
