Overview

Co-production involves the design and development of the options/solutions to support successful implementation.

Key Activities

Establishing the project team is critical for getting started. This will include the following steps:

  1. Following the decision to proceed with an option/s, hold a session with the project stakeholders to unpack the option/s and examine the key elements that will inform implementation.
  2. The outcome of the above session will be a roadmap that outlines the key phases and activities that will take place to support the delivery of the option/s.​
  3. Following this a more detailed project plan and budget will be developed to provide guidance to the implementation team.
  4. An implementation team should be formed who will take the project forwarded and work with the project team during the remainder of this phase to ensure a smooth hand over​.

CASE STUDY

“Five to Thrive” For Kids

Everyone would agree that giving kids the best start in life is critical. Most of us know that before a child turns seven, many aspects of who they will become have been established. When a group of local health, education and social care providers decided to gather in Inala, one of Queensland’s most disadvantaged regions, the enthusiasm was high. The common language around how to make a difference was not.

Bringing the group together to ultimately produce the Five to Thrive approach took many meetings. Common understanding and a shared frame of reference needed to be developed about how to prepare kids for a good start at school.

Inala Primary Care was the only general practice involved. Clarifying the role of general practice, the constraints on our team and the practicalities of asking general practitioners to do more took some effort. We worked with the meeting organisers to get the right people involved, to have videos of stimulating ideas shown and to manage the sometimes outspoken behaviour of attendees.

It all comes down to having lots of tools in your back pocket so that you can harness the energy of others to get a good result.

Social capital has been quietly collapsing across Australia for fifty years.

Drawing on research from Robert Putnam, Andrew Leigh, Hugh Mackay, and Julianne Holt-Lunstad, this article examines what we have lost, why it matters for the health and wellbeing of Australian communities, and why genuine co-design may be the most practical path toward rebuilding the social fabric we have allowed to unravel.
