Focusing on these contextual interdependencies gives rise to a relationship-centred approach to care that nurtures individual well-being through improving the quality of people’s relationships to the people, places and things in their communities.

Optimising performance

Outcomes are optimised and value generated by engaging the range of social relationships, forms of provisioning and found in multiple domains of care.

Optimisation is achieved through open systems sharing skills and knowledge rather than closed systems that focus on developing experts and specialisations.

Achieving durable systemic change requires system wide behavioural change. This means each party changes the role they play within the given system to activate their unrealised potential and restructure the relations between parts to sustain this new level of optimization.

Optimising outcomes in social care is connected to asset-based community development.
