Change Management vs Continuous Improvement: Which is best for you? Via ⁦Vince Baxter⁩ #QITwitter blog.triaster.co.uk/blog/change-ma…

PDSA is a core tool used in change. Don’t just think it, ink it. Do you share your experiments with other teams? #QITwitter

Large scale change is made up of many small scale changes. We never know if a change is going to work, so we have to try it out & amend it multiple times before it works. Small scale experimentation & learning is often the most powerful form of improvement. Graphic: Grant Snider

Fantastic quote from one of our Silver QI Cohort 1 participants .... QI takes time, but time spent engaging and involving the right stakeholders in fully understanding the problem and exploring possible change ideas is more likely to result in sustained change #QITwitter #GHCQI

Each of us can help create a culture of psychological safety: 1) Admit our own mistakes 2) Run lots of experiments to try out improvements 3) Make space to speak, be curious & say "I don't know" 4) Be patient - psychological safety takes time/effort/persistence. By Tom Geraghty

If new learning isn't applied, we forget 75% of it in 6 days. Instead of "traditional" learning: 1) identify the minimum learnable unit (MLU) based on 80/20 thinking 2) apply it to the real world 3) use peer learning 4) offer micro-courses: hbr.org/2019/10/where-… Via Lisa Bodell

We can't move forward with real, profound change unless we create "space". We need "space" for reflection, re-design, & new forms of emergence. The press of "urgent" sometimes seems to prevent the insight necessary for leading real change. Wisdom: Paul Batalden; Art: The New Happy
