The document outlines a web seminar led by the School for Health and Care Radicals, focused on nurturing transformational change agents in health and care. It emphasizes the importance of community, shared knowledge, and the characteristics of effective change agents, including self-efficacy and engagement with diverse perspectives. The seminar encourages participants to become certified change agents while highlighting the need for practical and relational learning in driving systemic improvements.

the edge?
I’m ready to be
radical!
I’m still sceptical.
I’m cautiously
optimistic…
I’m feeling
positive, let’s
see how I can

Peter Fuda’s Transformational Change Agent
framework: my commentary
“Doing”
• Where most change agents
in health and care put most
of their effort and emphasis
• What others typically judge
us on
• What we often perceive we
need to do to add value
• What most change and
improvement courses focus
on
• The “de facto” purpose of a
health and care radical

12. #SHCR @school4radicals#SHCR @School4Radicals
Peter Fuda’s Transformational Change Agent
framework: my commentary
“Seeing ” and “Being”
• We can only do effective
“doing” if we build on strong
foundations of “seeing and
being”
• Give us the potential for:
• better outcomes
• more engagement
• self-fufillment and
connection with our
bigger purpose as an
agent of change

“Being an effective Change Agent involves
demonstrating what you teach as much
as pontificating from the mountaintops.
Any behaviour we ask others to adopt,
we must consistently represent in our

outcomes.”

“Seeing, looking, monitoring, listening,

Aubrey Jango

“Seeing” as a health and care radical
• The big picture
• Multiple perspectives
• Reframing situations:
• failed attempts are learning opportunities
• uncertainty becomes curiosity
• The positive intentions of others
• Possibility of bad change processes rather than
resistors, blockers and laggards
• Hopeful futures, creative opportunities and potential
• See myself in the context of my higher purpose

Skills and methods for
creating change

30. #SHCR @school4radicals#SHCR @School4Radicals
“Doing” as a health and care radical
• Create the conditions where everyone
can contribute and do their best
• Join forces with others to create action
• Achieve small wins which create a sense of hope,
self-efficacy and confidence
• Appeal to both the head (logic/planning/data) and
the heart (shared values/purpose, framing,
relationships)
• Make change (and learning cycles from change)
routine rather than an exceptional activity
• Use models, theories and frameworks effectively

Conclusions for health and care
radicals?

34. #SHCR @school4radicals#SHCR @School4Radicals
The mindset of the past has a tendency to hijack
the transformational potential of the future

danger in times
of turbulence is
not the
turbulence…….
it is to act with
yesterday’s
logic.”
Peter Drucker

“From
the edge”

37. #SHCR @school4radicals

38. #SHCR @school4radicals#SHCR @school4radicals
What do we mean by “the edge”?
• Working at the edge of
organisations so we can see the
potential and make connections
that we couldn’t do if we were at
the centre
• At the edge of current practice and
knowledge about change
• Taking risks and demonstrating
courage to think and do things in
new ways
• On the edge of ?

39. #SHCR @school4radicals#SHCR @school4radicals
Why do we go to the edge?
The edge is where those who want
to challenge are able to unite,
share, support and grow together
as change activist. Leading from
the edge brings you into contact
with a far wider range of
relationships, and in turn, this
increases our potential for diversity
in terms of thought, experience
and background. Diversity leads to
more disruptive thinking, faster
change and better outcomes.”

What are the biggest opportunities for change
agents in our system?
• As bridge builders between disconnected
groups
• As curators and sharers of knowledge

45. #SHCR @school4radicals#NHSChangeDay #SHCRchat#SHCR @School4Radicals
Less change programmes
More change platforms
Change Programmes:
• utilise systematic “change
management” approaches
• Too often, leaders prescribe
the outcome and the
method of change in a top-
down way
• change is experienced by
people at the front line as
“have to” (imposed) rather
than “want to” (embraced)
Change Platforms
• enable everyone in the
organisation/system
(including service users) to
help tackle the most
challenging issues
• value diversity of thought
• leadership attention on
creating an environment
receptive to transformational
change

50. A big challenge for improvers
Tacit knowledge is where the action is….
• It’s the people with tacit knowledge who deliver the results
• Tacit knowledge is critical for large scale change
...but
The only way tacit
knowledge can be broadly
shared…
…is to turn it into
explicit knowledge
VERY difficult
Few organisations succeed

It is easy to copy but we often fail to recognize all the
contextual factors that went into making it
that one specific organizations good practice, and I
guarantee these are not yours!
Organizations need to move well beyond their lazy
reliance on best practice comparison and they need to
find better ways to explore emerging practices. But that
takes many into the realm of increasing uncertainties,
and most people and organizations are not trained for
this exploration and experimentation.”
Knowledge exchange is the way forward but
there aren’t really any easy paths

55. “Curating” knowledge in a social era
Finding things out and keeping up to date
• “pulling” information, but also having it
“pushed” to us by trusted sources
Making sense and meaning of information
• Reflecting and putting into practice
what we have learned
• Plugging information into our own
mental models and turning it into
knowledge
Connecting and collaborating
• Sharing complex knowledge with our
own work teams
• Testing new ideas with our own networks
• Increasing connections through social
networks Source: Harold Jarche

57. The School is brought to you by the
Horizons Group within NHS IQ
Aim of the group: to stimulate new and ‘disruptive’ approaches in
support of health and care transformation, operating at the edge of
current thinking and practice:
• skipping a generation of thinking
about how to create radical, system-
wide change
• skipping a generation in a wider level
of connection: working with emerging
leaders, clinical trainees, students
• skipping a generation of methods for
change: open innovation, open source,
digital connection, social media, change
platforms, hacking

6 things I have learnt from this experience of
The School for Health and Care Radicals
1. The most important need is for connection and
community
2. How to build the relationship between tacit and explicit
knowledge
3. The best experience seems to be synchronous in time,
asynchronous in location
4. We benefit greatly from our global connections
5. All teach, all learn
6. There is a massive untapped reservoir of energy, talent
and willingness to lead change out there and the potential
is outstanding
