1. Identify major themes and trends in the global world of change that are starting to shake our world of healthcare improvement2. Consider the implications for our own practice as leaders and practitioners of change and improvement3. Test out some of the new change methods and approaches in an interactive way4. Consider the opportunities and implications of these for our own practice as leaders of healthcare improvement5. Take home a toolkit of new and additional approaches to supporting change to complement your existing healthcare improvement toolkit and make your improvement efforts more likely to succeed

Why go to the edge?
“Leading from the edge brings us into contact with a far wider range
of relationships, and in turn, this increases our potential for diversity in terms of thought, experience and
background. Diversity leads to more disruptive thinking, faster
change and better outcomesAylet Baron

People who live and
perform in formal
organisation land and
people with the power
who have make or break
change are two different
lists (and we need BOTH)
#RTR2016
@HelenBevan #RTR2016
What’s the evidence?The failure of large scale
transformational change projects is rarely due to the content or
structure of the plans that are put into action
To make transformational change happen we need to connect networks
of people who ‘want’ to contribute

It’s much more about the role of informal networks in the
organisations/systems affected by change

Power in community“Power used to come largely through and from big institutions.Today power can and does come from connected individuals in community.When community invests in an idea, it co-owns its success.

We need rebels!•The principal champion of a change initiative, cause or action

•They are responsible; they do what is right•They name things that others don’t see yet
•They point to new horizons•Without rebels, the storyline never changes

of hope, possibility and confidence3. More likely to view obstacles as challenges to
overcome4. strong sense of “self-efficacy”

Self-efficacy
“If you think you can or think you
can't, you are right.”
Henry Ford
“The ability to act is tied to a belief that it is possible to do so”
Albert Bandura
There is a positive, significant relationship between the self-efficacy beliefs of a
change agent and her/his ability to facilitate change
and get good outcomes

Self efficacy ? (internally generated)
#RTR2016
@HelenBevan #RTR2016
Building self-efficacy: some tactics1. Create change one small step at a time2. Reframe your thinking:
• failed attempts are learning opportunities• uncertainty becomes curiousity
3. Make change routine rather than an exceptional activity4. Get social support5. Learn from the best

“Stages of change” Transtheoretical model of behaviour change
#SHCR @HelenBevan #@HelenBevan
• Which stage do most change activities in health and care focus on?
• Which stage are most people actually at?
Some questions
#SHCR @HelenBevan #@HelenBevan
The reality of our change situation• Our tools are often not effective at the stage of change
that most people we work with are at• It’s hard to engage people in change• It’s hard to get people to make the changes we want
them to make• People get irritated, defensive, irrational• We feel powerless in our ability to lead or facilitate the
change
90% of the tools available for health and care change agents are designed for the “action” stage
#SHCR @HelenBevan #IQTGOLD@HelenBevan
• Designed for Stage 4 – ACTION!
• Mandated it through targets
• Despite compelling case for change – people often resisted it
• People did the task and missed the point
Example – WHO Surgical Safety Checklist
#SHCR @HelenBevan #IQTGOLD@HelenBevan
Source: Russ et al (2015) A Qualitative Evaluation of the Barriers and Facilitators Toward Implementation of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist Across Hospitals in England: Lessons From the “Surgical Checklist Implementation Project” Ann Surg
Source of infographic here
#SHCR @HelenBevan #IQTGOLD@HelenBevan
“In hospitals without adequate resources and efficient systems, simply requiring the checklist to be used might not only fail to improve patient safety but might also introduce new risks for staff and
patients. This is the exact opposite of what the checklist was designed to achieve”.
#SHCR @HelenBevan #@HelenBevan
• Lower our ambitions for improvement• Focus our energies on those who are
already in the “action” stage• Put negative labels on those who are
not yet at the action stage such as “blocker” or “resister” or “laggard”
• Blame “the management” for not enforcing change
So what do we TEND to do when people resist?
#SHCR @HelenBevan #@HelenBevan
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken
place
George Bernard Shaw
‘‘
#SHCR @HelenBevan #@HelenBevan
• Listen and understand• appreciate the starting point• elaborate interests
• Roll with resistance• Don’t argue against it• Be curious and accepting• Encourage elaboration of resistance
• What makes it so hard?• What would help?
• Build meaning and conviction in the change
So what SHOULD we do?
See Motivational interviewing as a change management strategy
#SHCR @HelenBevan #@HelenBevan
• The focus should be on creating awareness for me of the need to change
• Remember the goal is not to make me (as a precontemplator) change immediately, but to help me move to contemplation
Example from the worksheet
• I am not thinking about changing my behaviours, actions or work processes
• The problem or issue is outside my frame of awareness or my perceived need

Focussing on Prochaska, DiClemente and Norcross’s Stages of Change model: • What stage of change are some of the key
people that you need to influence for your change initiative at?
• What actions can you take to help them move to the next stage?
Thinking about your own situation
