GateMate, The Prince's Trusttag:www.goddardpayne.com,2010:/we-do//2.1182010-07-01T15:05:12Z2010-07-06T15:36:35ZCaireenhttp://www.goddardpayne.com
learning paper from Innovation Exchange's Next Practice Programme has recently been published. The work Gene has been doing with the Prince's Trust 'Gatemate' campaign is featured (page 24/25). Project Leader Clara Clint talks about the support Gene has given...]]>
"Working with Gene has helped to keep the project focused. Through regular meetings we discuss what’s going well and what the challenges are. Gene helps me and the campaign team to take a step back from the project and put it in perspective. He helps with positive motivation, and facilitation of meetings to make them more productive. It’s really good to have someone independent to the project be honest about what’s going well and what barriers are coming up."
The consultancy intervention has helped GateMate’s leaders to explore new ideas and new thinking. Gene encouraged them to take a cross-sectoral and international perspective on their work, which has ultimately increased the partnership group’s
ambitions for the project:
"We invited some experts from other fields completely unrelated to the world of work that we are in who came in and told us about campaigns in their world. We’ve looked to farther ambitious campaigns and thought ‘we can do that'."]]>

It was a tough gig that forced us to think about and work through how you can effectively use prototyping to test the core concepts and assumptions behind a new service, as well as exploring specific interventions or touch-points.]]>

NESTA Lab Learning Event on idea developmenttag:www.goddardpayne.com,2010:/we-do//2.1102010-02-25T14:35:42Z2010-02-25T14:43:31ZCaireenhttp://www.goddardpayne.com
As part of our work as Learning Partner for the Lab, we're facilitating a learning event to explore what idea development is and to what purposes idea development processes can be effectively applied.
How can these processes be used to improve the quality, robustness and innovativeness of ideas?
What role do they play in understanding the innovative capacity of teams / people?
What role can they play in the sifting and selection of ideas and teams?
What is the added value that users and purchasers can bring to these processes?
Learning from the event will feed into a NESTA guide to idea development being published later this year. ]]>

We're working on a 'toolkit' that will enable schools, groups of schools and local authorities set up and run their own Student Commissions on Learning. The work is being supported by NESTA and the Harris Federation. The first part is due to be published in Feb/March. Any ideas on format or content, let us know.
Today we're running a session with NEF and NESTA for the co-production practitioners network. We're working with them to consider how they want the network to develop over the coming year, in particular focusing on the specific value they want it to create for members.
