creative ideas? Does organisational culture matter to creativity
and innovation? Application and examples from the NHS Some questions for the debate
Need to innovate in the NHS
Need to innovate in the NHS
Why innovate?
Innovation is recognised by leading commercial organisations as being essential for success
We have innovative approaches within healthcare but these are not always systematically applied
The current rate of improvement is not likely to achieve the change we want and need
First Order Change
More of, or less of…….the same thing
Second Order Change
Stand back… Reframe… See big picture…
Change a fundamental assumption or mental model
DirectedCreativity™
The purposeful production of creative ideas in a given topic area, followed up by deliberate efforts to
implement some of those ideas.
Creativity... The connecting and rearranging of
knowledge — in the minds of people who will allow themselves to think flexibly — to generate new, often surprising ideas that
others judge to be useful.

Escape… from the current mental valleys, assumptions or simple rules… often described as “blue sky thinking” or “thinking outside the box”.
Movement… play imaginatively… generate several ideas without judgment or criticism… free association that is allowed to flow in any direction it wishes without constraints for the moment.

Think like someone else Patients and carers Other industries and professions
Directly challenge the current paradigm Break the ‘rules’ (traditions, mental valleys, etc.) Alternatives from concepts
Think a level or two up in the system Whole patient journey Prevention rather than care only Coordination of multiple systems

Debate… Can the NHS meet its financial challenge
without creativity? Onto what opportunities should we direct
our creativity? Can the NHS truly create a culture for
innovation? Which dimensions might be easiest and hardest?
