Leading the way

Our Fife

Leading the way

Developing and implementing system-wide change to deliver shared outcomes will require strong and consistent strategic leadership across Fife Partnership organisations.

Given the challenge and complexity of leading and managing this reform, Fife Partnership Board has agreed to establish a new Fife leadership network to facilitate design and ownership of the new plan - as well as develop our capacity to achieve long-term ambitions. This will build on the 2022 Leadership Summits approach.


Engage your teams

Plan 27 will only be useful if it helps people doing the job and facing the challenges every day – people in operations, in communities, in support roles across the partnership. You don’t need to be a “community planning person” to get involved in shaping our services of the future. Discuss the opportunities for more effective joint working ahead and encourage contribution from a range of voices.

  • Step back for a moment: What pressures are you seeing in your area? What’s driving repeat demand? What gets in the way of early help?
  • Join up the conversations: If you’re talking about service plans, savings, workforce, digital, estates, or reform - treat it as part of the same system story, not separate workstreams – and bring it to the table as we discuss Plan 27.
  • Be open to challenge: Some things that made sense years ago may not fit today. Being willing to change course is a strength, not a criticism.
  • Share what you know: Frontline insight, operational know-how, and local knowledge are exactly what we need to design something workable.
  • Keep it human: Behind every performance measure is someone trying to live their life. Our job is to make the system easier to navigate and more supportive, especially for people experiencing inequality.
  • Bring others with you: The way leaders at every level connect the big picture to everyday decisions matters. Clarity, openness and positive energy help.

The year ahead will stretch us. But it also gives us a genuine opportunity to improve public services and the future health and wellbeing of Fife.
