Change that works - Priorities are great but how do you make change happen?

About this event

Elections focus on what governments could do, but just as key is how to do it

Come 5 July we’ll - barring dramatic events - know who the new UK government is, and what they’re likely to prioritise for the NHS in coming years. This focus on ‘what’ governments want to change is natural, but is largely irrelevant if there’s not a convincing plan for ‘how’ they will make it happen. This debate isn’t limited to governments: all NHS organisations need to change, but are we clear enough on how to deliver change that works?

This hour-long virtual session will bring together theory and practice to get into how change happens in the messy reality in which we live. What sounds great… but only leads to a dead end? What can appear boring… but holds within the secret to successful change? Change is the focus of all of our work at Kaleidoscope, particularly in a world of healthcare which is fundamentally all about the people who work in it.

This follows our sold-out events on strategy, organisational development, transformation and more, and builds on our Kaleidoscope research into the principles which sit behind our approach to supporting change that works.
