I can’t sell this any more than I have – don’t miss out on the Level 7 outcomes in complexity apprenticeship – it really is the last chance! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_leading-and-commissioning-for-outcomes-in-activity-7391375231019433984-3utB spread the word if you know anyone on payroll in England who could benefit!
OK, look, I’ve run out of clever ideas and cute ways to say it. Please spread the word: November 21 is the launch of Leading and Commissioning for Outcomes in Complexity – Convening Systems Change; a tailored version of the Level 7 Systems Thinking Practitioner Apprenticeship.
It’s levy funded for those on payroll in England >50% – and that ends after this cohort – last chance! (Smaller organisations get 95% funding – paying £900 for the entire course)
If you’re a commissioner, system convenor, or transformation lead across VCFSE, health, care, local government, or wider public services, this is a rare chance to:
• Learn through your own live work – not abstract theory
• Apply proven tools like the Viable System Model, Commissioning Compass, Soft Systems Methodology, Seven Ways to Intervene, Critical Systems Heuristics. Ecosystem Mapping, and Five Worlds of Commissioning
• Be coached by leading practitioners from Cherith Simmons, SCiO, and PSTA
• Do it all fully levy-funded
Two years days release; average half a day a week learning plus half a day a week applying it to the work you are already doing. Then three months to package the evidence. Provided by Cherith Simmons Learning and Development.

This is working on your challenges, in your context, via action inquiry, action learning, study, clinics, and coaching.
