Understanding the Place approach


Process 8 Programming activities for future Place


How and when we will deliver the future Place, and how will we measure success?


What is this for?


This step should establish a Place Plan, a coherent and credible way to deliver the Place-based work, answering basic practical questions (how and when we will deliver the activities as set out in the Place Brief; how we will measure success; and how we will share progress with key groups).


Preparatory work on programming will have been done earlier but we should be developing that from: a clear Place Brief with features and outcomes (why); a matrix of ideas and initiatives for prioritisation in short (early wins), medium & longer term as in the Place Diagram (how); and agreed resourcing across partners (who), via a Place Plan.


Those responsible should coordinate with strategic planning teams in local authority, HSCPs, RSLs etc via the Approach (governance and operational framework).


Partners should continue to champion the Place approach at relevant forums, as per updated stakeholder engagement arrangements. This will likely include frequent reshaping of the Place Brief and associated material into compelling change stories for those not closely involved in delivery. The programme will adapt over time as the Brief gets updated.


Governance arrangements will have been updated in previous phases but at this stage formal agreement of all relevant programme material (Brief, Diagram, Plan, benefits realisation, Approach, resourcing and risk management) should be secured from relevant partners, with clear input from communities.


We should be clear that there is ongoing (long-term) Leadership commitment, user Participation and partner collaboration within programme delivery.
