Business Transformation

 

 

 “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
The Cheshire Cat in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll



Over 70% of change management initiatives fail to meet their goals. Considering the human and financial factors involved, this remarkable statistic highlights the need to approach change in a way that enables an organisation to succeed. Our belief is that change is an essential element of life.

Organisations that are successful are in a constant state of change as they grow toward their strategic goals: this was never truer than it is in today’s political and financial landscape. The NHS focus on Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) is a perfect example of this. Like change, QIPP should become an essential part of the DNA of the NHS. It shouldn’t have a distinct beginning and end. Both QIPP and change are enablers that allow the NHS to get ever closer to its goals and Core Purpose. 

The NHS faces many challenges as it strives to deliver better clinical outcomes and quality of care in a climate that demands continuous improvements in productivity and a tight focus on cost. However we must not lose sight of the Core Purpose of the NHS - as one of the best health care systems in the world. 

Change is a necessary and positive part of delivering QIPP as the NHS builds on 60 years of service and continues to be a world class healthcare provider of the future. Our approach focuses each NHS organisation on its Core Purpose and Strategic Objectives. Only when these are clearly defined and understood is it possible to deliver credible, consistent and sustainable change.

We help you deliver change through five Critical Success Factors.

  • KNOW YOUR STRATEGIC GOALS - We’ll help you understand your strategic goals and what benefits need to be realised. Without strategic alignment, change initiatives will not just fail to deliver; they may actually impede the organisation’s overall progress.
  • GAIN COMMITMENT FROM THE TOP - We help you to articulate your vision to gain that commitment and, once gained, to communicate that commitment through to every stakeholder in the change programme.

  • DEVELOP A CHANGE CULTURE - We help you assess current behaviours and attitudes and develop plans to help unlock positive new behaviours to affect a better change culture.

  • ENHANCE CHANGE CAPACITY - Acknowledge the pain before the gain, and give change the space to succeed. We can help you assess the full impact of the change programme and design ways of minimising that impact on the frontline.

  • DEVELOP FUTURE CAPABILITY - Capability means having the right skills in the right places at the right time. We will help you build robust teams with repeatable skills – we want you to be self-sufficient.
