Sometimes people see change agents as troublemakers ?

Change Agent

• Change results from transformational conversations– involving more and different people in change discussions– altering how and which people engage with each other– by stimulating different perspectives to shape how people

think about things• Resistance is an inevitable consequence of a complex

change process (based on diversity)• Resistance should be embraced and worked with• It is the change agents role to create attraction for the

change

Resistance

How can we create attraction which results in behaviour change?

Key learning from improvement projectsSustainability is the result of effective preparation

and implementation.

Sustainability will not ‘just happen’; you need to plan for it.

Key learning – winners and losersImprovement projects will not work unless clinicians can be persuaded to take part

Where there are powerful ‘winners’ from change, sustainability may be high, but not where there are powerful

‘losers’. (Plant 1995)

Key learning - consider the Rogers curveStarting with enthusiasts is a good way of making progress but those at the far end of Rogers curve will help you to understand what can go wrong. They will essentially help you to develop your risk assessment so do not ignore them!

Laggards - chat box task

• “Describe an area in your life where ‘you’ are a laggard. Something that most other people have or do, but not you!”

• For example: Lynne Maher has an irrational fear of microwaves!

“The all-too-common consequences of poor employee engagement during change programmes - the reduced

magnitude of the benefits achieved, drawn-out timescales for their achievement, and the failure to sustain them beyond the

immediate implementation phase - should be compelling enough to encourage the adoption of a bold new approach.”

(Corven Consulting, 2005)

Key learning - staff must be able to see that ‘they’ will benefit (WIIFM) if the scepticism is to be

tackled

The NHS Sustainability Model

• You do not need high numbers of patients• Develop information about what you are planning to do and the role

patients can play• Talk to patients • Identify patients who have recently complained• Clinical staff might identify patients• You could use posters / leaflets but personal contact is best• Use methods of engagement that are relevant to the patient group

for example you might engage with community groups first.

Engaging patients and families…

No choice… homework task

•Confirm the area that this work will focus in•Identify who your main stakeholders are

•Think carefully about how you communicate with them•What is your message?

•Create an initial time/resource plan•Plan to engage some patients ……who, where, when

Questions/progress sharing Questions/progress sharing

Workbooks • Reflective workbooks which need to be

completed as part of the programme• They follow the steps of engagement, capture,

understand, co-design /improve and measure• We will send a copy to you later today• They need to be submitted twice during the

programme– by 5pm, Thursday 22 January 2015 – by 5pm, Thursday 28 May 2015
