Selling the Compact

An unapologetically hard sell

Duration:
40-60 minutes

Delegates:
Min 20, Max N/A
Suitable for anyone with a basic knowledge of Compact. Ideal for anyone seeking to understand why the Compact works and how to sell it to others.

Works best:
In any Compact themed event or as a stand alone workshop. A briefer version could slot into partnership events.

Overview:
Localism means many things to many people and it is often hard to separate fact from ideology. One definite change is the reduction in the auditing and inspection regimes which held public bodies to account for the services they provide. With reduced regulation and reduced budgets in the public sector the need for closer relationships and shared understandings has never been so pressing. This talk represents a comprehensive and convincing ‘hard-sell’ for the Compact. Attendees will gain:

  • An understanding of the Compact’s ‘journey’ and exponential rise to significance
  • Appreciation of the extent to which the Compacts time has arrived
  • A snapshot of good practice examples where the Compact way of working delivers through adversity
  • Hints in tackling scepticism and/or a lack of enthusiasm for the Compact
