One of the worst lies we tell ourselves is that doubling down will bring change Truth is, change will always be harder for some & an opportunity for improvement for others ‘the strategy of “continuous improvement” is not just an asset, but a necessity’

Strategies for bringing rallying change when it's hard
Being a leader of change means challenging the status quo. This can be tough. People have a "status quo bias". Behavioural economists tell us the fear of what might be lost is twice as strong as the hope of what might be gained. The more we are invested in something, the harder

Coverage in @edinburghpaper of our call to protect children's speech and language therapy services - these are the wrong cuts at the wrong time.

“Relocation without rehabilitation is […] a sad regression. The government must acknowledge that effective care for older people lies at the heart of an equitable, effective, & ethical H&SC system. Secondly, we need recovery plans to be based upon evidence-based approaches”

“The root of these difficulties lies in long-standing failures to grasp the nettles of social care reform and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation has suffered from sustained deprioritisation and underinvestment.”

@AilsaCook @PeeblesElouise @MidlothianHSCP 💡for me was understanding when we ask people to be responsible for things they can’t control in complex systems we can end up with data for the things they can…& that’s often just ‘data gaming’. Finding ways to understand, analyse & articulate contribution = meaningful learning

Lots of SLTs in scotland have made a start here Get in touch with @RCSLTResearch if you are using job plans (@RCSLTResearch you should probably get in touch with @IntegrationMgr who has shared her work with Scottish SLT leads)
We are currently working on some resources to support with job planning for SLTs. We are keen to hear from services using job plans as well as those who are interested in finding out more. Read about the project here: https://t.co/eSayGJGHqG

Triple loop thinking is Rolfe’s reflective model on steroids. An essential part of effective and sustained transformation and lots for complex systems to take from this.
Our strategic thinking in health & care is mostly single-loop (what/how are we doing?) or double-loop (why/how do we do what?) We have to make time & space for triple-loop learning (rethinking our thinking). We can learn from the military: https://t.co/LnGjs1VTJC By @BZweibelson
