d investment, which potentially leaves the TFD in a vulnerable position going forward. A feature of a systemic approach to delivery is understanding how different tasks and processes interact. For example, we noted that a long-term consequence of a lack of regular tracking of outcomes means it is harder to justify the business case, whether or not governance is in place. Also, not documenting processes may well have eroded the effectiveness of the targeted risk models, how these can be applied in practice, and the ability to improve them on an ongoing basis. This being said, again we think it is important to conclude by referencing the context in which development of the TFD took place, as will be a consideration for all projects of this kind. We found that the conditions in which the Insight Bristol team were operating were such that their approach to implementation was less a considered choice, but the only way they felt that progress could be feasibly made. In this way, our findings represent a means by which Bristol and others can reflect and consider how their approach may be improved, in order to extend positive outcomes for practitioners and ultimately service users. Whilst the culture around innovation was noted as a constraint, the availability of budget and resource to adopt a more systematic and systemic approach to delivery was also a theme raised frequently in our evaluation.
