Locality’s interest
• Experience of our Members over many years• Introduction of Work Programme• Myths about economy of scale – esp in
services“immutable law of economics”• Lack of any real evidence base
• Encouragement from others
![Page 20: Welcome to North East Regional Network Meeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681617f550346895dd10f70/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Methodology• Third sector experience
o Financial data from 139 VCS organisations aspiring to deliver public serviceso Survey responses from 96 VCS organisationso Follow up depth interviews with 9 cases
• End-user experienceo Analysis of thousands of
demands presented on the system, using “Vanguard Method” techniques
![Page 21: Welcome to North East Regional Network Meeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681617f550346895dd10f70/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

The Vanguard Method
• Change starts by studying, getting knowledge of the “what and why” of performance as a system (we never start change with a “plan”)
• It studies services end-to-end
• It understands service-user demands, following them through the services in order to understand how and how well the services work.
• It identifies the system conditions that hinder the achievement of purpose from the services users perspective.

What we found• Scale thinking is rife
71.2% of aspiring VCS orgs fail the 25% “rule”
• Scale thinking is destroying social capitalLoosening of bonds and multipliers – local SW case studyOrganisations going bust due to unit-cost squeeze
• Scale takes vast resource away from the front lineMega-contracts typically 35-55% management costs
• Potential savings are massiveestimated £16bn worth of diseconomies

The Drivers to Scale
1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of postcode lotteries
3. System efficiencies (QA, development costs)4. Internal management convenience
5. Belief in economies of scale
![Page 25: Welcome to North East Regional Network Meeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681617f550346895dd10f70/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Call to Action
Efficiency comes from Effective services, so these must:
• Be “Local by Default”
• Help people to help themselves
• Focus on purpose, not outcomes
• Manage value, not cost

“The support of the Broker was so important because she knew about other projects and other approaches that we could consider ...” Becky Jeffcoate, Wells Maltings Trust, Norfolk matched with local architect Rupert Kitchen of LSI Architects
What they’ve said so far:
“The Service provides an opportunity through its structured process for firms to differentiate between “wheel kickers” and those with a serious intent. As it is part of something bigger there is pressure for everyone to perform well.” Firm’s feedback to the evaluator of the pilot service
