Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care East of England (CLAHRC EoE) DEPARTMENTS OF PSYCHIATRY & ENGINEERING , DIVS F & C Organisational Management Theory and the UK Patient Safety Movement Not enough time for change Dr Jennifer Spencer Dual CCT MRCPsych, MB, BAO, BCh, BMedSci, BA; Dr Terry Dickerson, PhD; Ms. Amanda Goodger, PhD student; and CLAHRC East of England Background Most industries spend a lot of time and resources thinking about things before making changes. Time to market (TTM) is the length of time it takes from a product being conceived until its being available for sale. The average time to market for a prototype medical product, such as a medical device or a drug, is 5-16 years. A tacit assumption is that TTM and product quality are opposing attributes. Skipping steps of the development process compromises product quality. “Managers are not confronted with problems that are independent of each other, but with dynamic situations that consist of complex systems of changing problems that interact with each other… Managers do not solve problems, they manage messes.” -- Russell Ackoff, Journal of Operational Research Society, 1979 The Sociotechnical system A set of processes that embrace the actions of a number of individuals interacting with relevant technologies Frontline staff were aware of interconnected nodes where communication occurred between different teams. They were aware of safety concerns that were occurring and being addressed within the confines of the frontline staff communication network.

Basic needs must be met to prevent dissatisfaction, but can at best create indifference when met. Delighters are the result of innovation and are the most powerful driver of customer satisfaction. Over time, delighters become performance needs and eventually basic needs. Therefore, the innovation process can never stop. What we agreed to do The concerns managers came up with were compared with service staff concerns to see what the similarities and differences were.
