collaborative learning and improvement

Yesterday I was in Leeds with a group of other IDeA staff looking at our approaches for supporting collaborative learning. As an agency, we've lead on a number of programmes that use a collaborative learning approach, such as our Accelerated Improvement Consortia, the work of the Planning Advisory Service and the Action Research programme we ran through the Performance Management, Measurement and Information project. The PM Partner project and the IDeA's Community of Practice approach is another way of supporting collaborative learning.

You can find out a little bit more about the Accelerated Improvement Consortia work in Yorkshire and Humberside in relation to street cleansing and neighbourhood governance.

I'm committed to the approach, but we want to make sure that we're doing it the right way. Yesterday's meeting was largely about our own collaborative learning, making sure that we're able to support local government in leading improvement from within.
