What is it?
A learning process to better understand the health of the systems and services which respond to those experiencing multiple complex needs.
What is it?
A survey ran throughout August 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, and asked people about their personal values.
It asked what motivates them, what is and isn’t working in the current culture/environment.
It also asked about their desired culture, and what would be essential for the system in York to reach its highest potential. From the results of this survey, the learning process began.
We’ve put together this handy guide highlighting key points from the 2020 York Cultural Values survey.
Survey Summary
Stages of the sense-making process
-
Stage one - Personal Values
In stage one we spent some time exploring the personal values which the MCN Cultural Values Survey identified, and beginning to understand the conditions which made it sometimes easier or sometimes more difficult for people to live by their positive personal values of 'compassion', 'kindness' and 'making a difference'.
-
Stage two - Current Cultural Values
In stage two we dug a little deeper, exploring the current cultural values which the MCN survey identified, and how they differ from the desired values. We also looked at the barriers which sometimes prevent people from being able to live by their desired values, and how we can begin to work to overcome these together
-
Stage three - Action Planning
Stage three invited us into a journey of action planning around meaningful projects and how we can design for the inclusion of the desired values from the start - so we might incorporate or create the conditions for the desired positive values to be a foundation in all aspects of the projects we create.
-
Stage four - Joining the Dots
Stage four brought us together to investigate how we can join the dots of our learning. We took personal learning and built on the strong relationships already existing across York. Collaboratively, we discussed and agreed on some practical next steps and actions moving forwards.
