The Trajectory
“Sustainable competitive advantage has to be
won by creating the internal capacity to
improve and innovate – fast and without let
up. Simply put, today’s leading organizations outrace
their competition by outlearning them.”

IGNITE! Building Blocks of Continuous Improvement Part 1 #QIBBF

Editor's Notes

  • #2 And finally, Improvement Capability which undergirds all the rest and is about building practical improvement capability based on the science of improvement into every organization, health care executive, and professional, while driving innovation to dramatically improve performance at all levels of the health care system.
  • #3 Comment: Insatiable appetite to improve Do not seek to negate outcomes through benchmarking data Only require individual patient stories to stimulate system improvemnent High reliability organizations (Struder) are: - Sensitive to operations. Reluctance to accept "simple" explanations for problems Have a preoccupation with failure Defer to ‘expertise’ at the front line Display resilience and relentlessness

  • #20 St. Bart’s Patient Focus Group Shared Decision Making: A service improvement project based on the concept that the patient is an equal partner in every decision about their health care Group work to explore: - What it felt like not to be listened to - Compared to an occasion where they had been listened to In relation to their admission in St. Barts: - What were the positives - What were the challenges - How could their experience be improved

  • #26 The model focuses on the following 9 staff engagement enablers: Working relationships – do staff feel supported? Recognition – do staff feel valued? Resources – do staff have the resources they need to work effectively? Clarity – do staff understand what’s going on in their role/team/the Trust? Perceived fairness – do staff feel processes and treatment is fair? Personal Development – do staff have development opportunities? Influence – do staff feel involved in change and decisions? Mindset – do staff feel proud and optimistic about the future? 9. Trust – are staff empowered to do their job?

  • #29 Jim Collins HBR 2005 - Level 5 leadership: Executive an executive in whom extreme personal humility blends paradoxically with intense professional will.  He identifies the characteristics common to Level 5 leaders: humility, will, ferocious resolve, and the tendency to give credit to others while assigning blame to themselves (aka - take responsibility, for everything) Good to great
  • #30 Management Based Walk Arounds http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/management-by-walking-around-programs-in-hospitals-may-do-more-harm-than-good/ Singer and Tucker They found that senior managers in work areas in the study allocated too much time to analyzing which problems to solve and not enough time taking action, resulting in a negative impact on perceptions of improvement among nurses. Senior managers’ presence on the front lines was only helpful when it enabled active problem solving. “MBWA can backfire if management fails to meet staff expectations raised by the program,” said Tucker. “When MBWA is successful, it’s the action-taking that results from the program, rather than the mere physical presence of the senior managers, that positively impacts frontline staff performance. Rather than generating large numbers of safety reports without the ability to act on them, organizations should take action on known problems and build capacity for solving more.” 4. High reliability organizations defer to expertise. Leaders at high reliability organizations listen to people who have the most developed knowledge of the task at hand. Sometimes, those individuals might not have the most seniority, but they are still encouraged to voice their concerns, ideas and input — regardless of hierarchy. If leaders and supervisors don't listen to staff about processes and operations within the hospital, it is practically impossible for the organization to develop a culture of high reliability.
