Start a conversationVicHealth
FPC provided hands-on systems thinking support to 35 local councils as part of VicHealth's state-wide Local Government Partnership capacity building initiative. This work involved tailored coaching and guidance to help councils apply systems thinking to their health promotion and community wellbeing work.
VicHealth
VicHealth engaged FPC to build evaluation capability across Victoria's 9 Local Public Health Units (LPHUs). This comprehensive program included tailored training, evaluation framework development, and facilitation of Community of Practice sessions.
The program operated as one of three streams alongside Leadership (Prof Rob Moodie) and Systems Thinking (Deakin), with FPC leading the Evaluation stream.
Sustainability Victoria
Due to the nature of the health industry, hospitals and other healthcare services consume a high amount of resources and generate one of the most diverse and difficult to manage waste streams. Sustainability Victoria recognised the need to support nurses and other healthcare service stakeholders in the development and implementation of waste management plans and strategies.
FPC was engaged to design and facilitate six Waste in Healthcare mentoring workshops around Victoria, focussed on mentoring and assisting participants to develop implementation plans for introducing new waste streams in their place of work (or improve existing waste streams). The scope included consideration of general waste, recyclables, green waste and PVC, e-waste, and clinical waste. We also provided strategies for participants to gain buy-in from hospital executives to help implement their action plans.
Country Fire Authority & Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning
Emergency management is an incredibly complex field of work. Within Victoria, there are jurisdictional boundaries, stakeholders at all levels and a significant amount of action being taken at local, State and National levels.
Recognising this complexity, FPC was engaged by the Country Fire Authority and the Department of Environment, Water and Planning to design and deliver a comprehensive training program in Social Network Analysis (SNA) to 50 participants from local and state organisations in Victoria.
The aim was to build their capability in mapping systems and networks to identify efficiencies, opportunities for collaboration and to provide a different lens through which they could view their work. The training program consisted of an intensive full-day training introducing core SNA concepts, followed by application to real projects and small group coaching sessions.
Deakin University
FPC facilitated a half-day workshop with City of Greater Bendigo and North Central CMA to explore how systems thinking could be integrated into land use planning decisions. Participants developed Causal Loop Diagrams to understand the complex factors influencing land use in regional Victoria.
Emporium Creative Hub
FPC conducted an evaluation of Emporium Creative Hub in Bendigo and developed a practical 'How to Guide' to build internal capacity for future evaluations. The Guide walked staff through key evaluation steps tailored to the Hub's specific context and resources, enabling them to continue evaluation work independently.
Alcohol and Drug Foundation
The Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) funds and delivers the Local Drug Action Team (LDAT) Program to support communities to work together to prevent and minimise the harm caused by alcohol and other drugs.
FPC worked with ADF and LDATs to build capacity in evaluation and tailor methods to suit their capacity and types of interventions. This evaluation also tested and compared one of four models designed to improve the quality and robustness of the LDAT evaluations, whereby LDATs are connected with an external evaluation consultant.
ACT Health
FPC provided an independent peer review of Social Network Analysis conducted for the Mid-Term Review of ACT's Preventive Health Plan. This involved providing design advice, sense-checking the analysis for veracity and utility, and ensuring the SNA methods were appropriately applied.
