Asset-based approaches in service settings: striking a balance

This research profiles the work of a number of mainstream statutory services embedding asset-based principles in their approach to service delivery, and uncovers opinion and thinking on the potential of this way of working within public services in a Scottish context.

The individual case studies presented in this report reflect the experiences, delivery, management, activities and learning arising from each service. Although each case is unique, a number of interconnected themes emerged across aspects of structure, culture and learning.The importance of relationships, partnerships, citizen involvement and collaborative endeavour as central tenets of asset-based working within a services context was evident.
