Complexity in public services
Most ‘wicked’ problems we understand as complex:
• People and place interact unpredictably
• Many moving pieces
• Path-dependency
• Feedback loops

Managing in complex systems
► Take account of context
► Build in learning and reflection
► Partnerships matter
► Experiment and adapt
► Celebrate diverse solutions
► Scale carefully

Our process to put outcomes into action
Map context and outcomesMap the outcomes that matter to the programme and how they are influenced by context
Audit evidence and develop planHow will you know your project is working and how will you get this evidence?
Track progressBring together data and information to assess how well the programme is progressing to outcomes
Ongoing discussion, reflection, analysis and reportingEmbed learning to improve the project

Small group discussions
• What aspects of your work has it been helpful to surface in OutNav?
• How might you use OutNav to surface the depth and complexity of your work?

Embedding risks and assumptions in your work
• Option 1. (anyone)• Use the ISM tool to understand the factors that help and hinder us
embedding meaningful outcome evaluation
• How can we express these in risks and assumptions?
• Option 2 (existing OutNav users)• Take it in turns to share examples of important risks and assumptions
• How have you reflected on these in your analysis?
• Are they captured in success criteria? If not, what could you do.
