As part of its contribution to the Public Sector reform debate the Forum is pleased to again partner with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (NI Region) to stimulate ideas to improve our public services.
The need to challenge traditional means of service delivery has never been greater and is common across the public sector in Northern Ireland. Although based on experience within the health sector, Dr Bevan will make available a wealth of ideas, opinions, research and resources about the future direction of change.
Dr Bevan describes the context of her work -
"As leaders of health and care, we are steering change in a world where the power of hierarchy is diminishing and change is happening faster and becoming more disruptive. Small scale incremental change is no longer enough to deliver the scale of change that our patients and populations need moving forward. We need to supplement existing approaches with new thinking and practice in leading change".
In this briefing, Helen Bevan will share key ideas about change and transformation from leading practitioners, researchers, thought leaders and opinion formers across the globe. She will frame these ideas in a health and care context to determine actions that can be taken to create transformation strategy and develop change leaders who can accelerate change and achieve their goals.
