Generate
Generate (fomally called the NewGen group) is an informally
constituted group of five Chief Executives who have chosen to
develop their leadership skills by learning from each other in a
very open, supportive and non-competitive way.
Since the group first came together in 2004, this bold experiment
in trust has helped each of them, in different ways, to become
better leaders for their organisation, consequently ensuring better
services for their customers.
Endorsed positively by the Audit Commission, it has proved that
organisations and leaders facing similar challenges have much to
learn from each other and that, given the right framework and
support, this can happen in a surprisingly powerful way.
It has also provided an interesting model for collaboration that
others may wish to explore, perhaps as an alternative to more
formal alliances such as mergers and group structures.
Generate benefit from 5 organisations all sharing, ideas, resources and influence. The main themes of Generate are:
Challenges
Look at ways in which we can
influence others, help shape direction and challenge long standing
practices that are entrenched.
Knowledge
By sharing our experiences and knowledge, change can be achieved,
challenges addressed and services improved. The emphasis is on
‘Leading by Learning’ providing a font of knowledge
that can quickly address key problems.
Ideas
Sometimes we want to be the lead in setting up new ideas, and
facilitating change. As a
group best practice is shared, ideas are generated that focus on
real improvements for more
of our customers by using new avenues to save money, increase
quality or add value.
Networks
A strong group that doesn’t
need to be a Group Structure, with wide ranging experiences,
networks and links with other businesses to provide optimum
opportunities to learn and deliver outcomes.
Support
A fundamental values based behaviour within the group that thrives
on mutual support
through being there, sharing, and providing answers.
