Background to your work
I work in the social policy team at nef and am focused on co-production. Current areas of work include developing practical tools for commissioning co-production, establishing a co-production auditing approach and gathering the evidence base across the sector. I'm also working with practitioners to test new co-produced approaches, like collective purchasing using personal budgets, parent-led childcare approaches or dual currency models to support independent living.

    Hi Lucy

    Thanks

    The headlines are that it explored how individuals valued themselves and others outside of comparison and competition, and how processes were used.  It identified that there are many hierarchies that can come to the fore where people can feel above or below the other be it societal norms, or skill sets.  These can cause more problems of power/powerlessness if not addressed.  

    Individuals valued themselves outside of comparison/competition, by how others benefitted from the individual’s skill eg empty plates if worked in kitchen.  Colleagues were valued by listening to them/appreciate their work.  Thus rewards are free and limitless for all, unlike hierarchies which have limited rewards that foster competition.

    Processes, when motivation for their use is identified, can offer opportunities for creativity and adoption/hybrid of processes from hierarchies.

    I hope this v brief summary helps!
