“Learning about LAAs – background, purpose, outcomes – well illustrated through the simulation”

Choosing LAA outcomes

Starting the Workshop

Main Menu

After introductions and an initial presentation on Local Area Agreements (LAA), the group splits into four to choose the outcomes for the LAA blocks.

The Main Menu

“The most advanced computer led training course I have attended”

Main Menu

Shows a virtual community with problems such as air and water Pollution, congestion, poor housing, unemployment, poor health and rising waste.

The buildings represent the teams which work together as a local strategic partnership to improve the community and implement their chosen LAA.

“An excellent way of exploring issues particularly the

cross – cutting elements & how they impact across blocks”

Looking at the issues

Report Screen

Teams are Town Hall, College, PCT, Third Sector, Housing, Utilities, Transport and Development Partnership.

Each team is given a mission statement outlining their objectives.

They are presented with updated reports to help them make decisions.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

Investment

Having looked at their reports and developed a strategy the teams can invest their budgets.

Can they balance their budget? Negotiate with other teams and choose win win wins to hit their indicators?

Advance the Round, see the Changes

Update Round

After all the budget decisions have been made the round is updated.

Improvements made to the community are shown.

3 rounds remain to deal with problems

The Score

The score shows how the teams have performed jointly on their LAA indicators.

Red = 0 – 3Amber = 3 – 7Green = 7 – 10

Politics and Public Opinion are also scored.

“partnership approach and collaboration, illustrated through practical participation”

3 rounds remain to deal with problems

Group Discussion

Final Exercise

Consider: Key Actions, Barriers, and Solutions.

Break into 4 Groups (based on the LAA Blocks)

LAA in the Real World

Delegates reflect on the learning and discuss how this can be implemented in the real world.

What learning message delegates said they would take away:

Think about cross cutting and cross

over between blocks

Listen to the views of others

and work in partnership

Understand and promote the

inter-relationship between LAA targets

Consider the ways in which

my work impacts on all

sectors

Feedback

“The simulation was excellent – It brought the whole LAA

process to life”
