power – Noreen Blanluet

Presentation slide covering Values in action; on the left, co-production values, and on the right, what they look like in action. Value all participants, and build on their strengths. - Enable everyone to participate fully (equity); people must feel safe, valued, heard, understood. Develop networks across silos. - Work across boundaries and hierarchies. Pay attention to those outside of traditional systems. Do what matters for the people involved. - Listen to understand people’s context and experience first, before bringing your agenda. Build relationships of trust and share power. - Share ideas, make decisions together, test things, give (and take) honest constructive feedback. People can be change makers, and organisations become enablers. - Use positional power to remove barriers, and change the rules and permissions.
