To build on the fantastic level of interest in the A Whole New World –  Funding and Commissioning in Complexity report we’re hosting an event which will help a community of practice to form for people interested in how to work better in complex environments. A community of practice means a group of people – charitable funders, commissioners and organisations who deliver services and other social activities – who want to talk with one another about how to do this work well.

The workshop will be held at Newcastle University Business School on the 13th November 2017 from 12:30-16:30. 

At this session we will update you on developments since the initial release of the report and outline ambitions for the work and particular priorities for action, before moving onto three open discussion sessions that explore these themes further, experimenting and stress testing what complexity-friendly funding models would look like in practice.

Your input is crucial to ensuring we build on momentum and develop concrete plans for how we can continue to hold the space and create the ‘learning infrastructure’ that will encourage experimentation of the ideas put forward in A Whole New World. This event will be an opportunity for you to begin to form and design how the community of practice will work and grow in the future.
