Establishing Common Purpose for Place-Based Outcomes through Partnership
Presented by: Michael McAfee, Marcos Marquez, and Dan Duncan

Presented by: Phil Lee and David Burnby
OBA and, more specifically, leadership for outcomes can challenge traditional political boundaries and vice versa.

We will examine, with illustrative examples, a variety of challenges in and strategies for navigating the “politics” of implementing OBA.

The Story of Vermont, Act 186 and Mark Friedman
Presented by: Diane Snelling and Mark Friedman
What does it mean to lead? Is it about courage or persistence? Is it singular or plural? If party politics isn’t the driver, what makes it possible to introduce new ideas? Can good policy be developed inside politics and outside of party?
When does an individual, or a group of colleagues, begin to believe there must be a better way to achieve results, and actually start looking?
What brings people to a common purpose? What keeps that purpose clear enough to keep unity growing?
Presented by: Karen Finn and Mike Pinnock
In this workshop we want to ask “What would it be like to work in an organisation that was all about outcomes?”.
How would you experience that in your day-to-day work? And how could you use your position to shape how other people experienced it too?
