Change with Confidence

Tim, Phil and Mel

Every change has positive and negative consequences; there is no perfect change. Being clear on all outcomes sets realistic expectations and tests if the change is worth it. These resources suggest that thinking about consequences up front is worth the effort.

Stop
this
crazy thing!

Time
after
time

Always late, or know someone who is? Sometimes, it’s worth the effort to dig deeper to understand why people are as they are and see the potentially great things associated with the “annoying” behaviour. And if we’re the serial offender, it’s probably time to start thinking about the real, lasting consequences of our ”bad” behaviour, and making a plan to adjust it.

The proof
is in
the pilot

One of the challenges of implementing change within highly-compliant fields like healthcare is that any adjustment to protocols could compromise regulatory standards. Creating a pilot is often the best way to prove that new ways of working can maintain or even improve results.
