Watch our webinar Co-operative Values Driven AI – a new guidance framework.


Councils nationwide are under increasing financial pressure and Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly considered a solution. However, as stewards of critical public services, public service staff and elected members cannot simply embrace the ‘go fast and break things’ mentality prevalent in many parts of the private sector. When they get it wrong, real people’s lives are impacted.


Mutual Ventures has worked with council from the CCIN to develop a guidance framework based on co-operative principles to people assess AI's potential and suitability. It focuses on providing the basic knowledge necessary to ask pertinent questions and ensure the ethical and cooperative exploration and adoption of AI.


This free webinar explored the framework and its practical applications including:

  • The main use cases for AI

  • The key enablers within an organisation

  • Important risks and mitigations

  • How to align the adoption of AI with ethical CCIN principles


The webinar was Chaired by CCIN Chair Cllr Jim Robbins and included contributions from Rob Gregory, Assistant Director Digital Transformation and Intelligence at Wigan Council, and Andrew Laird, the Chief Executive of Mutual Ventures, who co-led the production of the guidance framework.

Working together to overcome delivery challenges

Multiple agencies and decision-makers - We build a local coalition for change through facilitated workshops and alignment conversations.

Limited time to pilot, learn and scale - We bring learning from Pathfinders and our experience supporting 25+ areas nationally to accelerate implementation and avoid reinventing the wheel.

Competing transformation and pressures - We specialise in working with services on their improvement journey, and align FFP reforms with other initiatives and work already underway, including SEND, Family Hubs.

Risk of structural change without practice change - We keep the focus on outcomes and lived experience, support co-production with families and children, develop outcomes frameworks and child journey mapping.
