In a connected world, power no longer emanates from the top of the heap, but the centre of the network.Greg Satell, 2015

@HelenBevan #NHSchange

@HelenBevan #NHSchange Why go to the edge?

Leading from the edge brings us 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 outcomesAylet Baron

@HelenBevan #NHSchange Is your change process a cathedral or a bazaar?

@HelenBevan #NHSchange Cathedral and Bazaar is an essay, then book, byEric S. Raymondonsoftware engineeringmethodsIllustrates the struggle between top-down and bottom-up designTheCathedralmodel: restricted access to code, code only available with each software release controlled / limited / restricted / closedTheBazaarmodel, in which the code is developed over theInternetin view of the publicRaymond's proposition that "given enough eyeballs, allbugsare shallow"- the more openly and widely available the source code is for public testing, scrutiny, and experimentation, the more rapidly all forms of bugs will be discovered.Raymond claims that an inordinate amount of time and energy must be spent hunting for bugs in the Cathedral model, since the working version of the code is available only to a few developers.24

We have a lot of cathedrals

@HelenBevan #NHSchange

In a world of mounting performance pressure, [organisations and change processes] need to evolvethe most successful will be those that evolve into movements.

Success will be determined by their ability to mobilise, inspire and support an ever-expanding array of participants extending far beyond their own four walls

@HelenBevan #NHSchange The power of the platformFacebook, YouTube, Twitter and their lesser cousins have proved the power of the platform. They have shown that if your average 21st century citizen is given the tools to connect andthe freedom tocreate, they will do so with enthusiasm, and often with an originality that blindsides the so-called creative industries...Good leadership is no longer about taking charge or imposing a strategic vision but about creating the platforms that allow others to flourish and create Ashoka http://www.virgin.com/unite/entrepreneurship/what-does-leadership-mean-in-the-21st-century

@HelenBevan #NHSchange Why platforms are the new powerOld power wont deliver what we need to27

@HelenBevan #NHSchange

systematic change managementtoo often, leaders prescribe outcome and method of change in a top-down waychange is experienced by people at the front line as have to (imposed) rather than want to (embraced)

Change Programmes

everyone (including service users and families) can help tackle the most challenging issuesvalue diversity of thoughtconnect people, ideas and learningRole of formal leaders is to create the conditions and get out of the way

Change Platforms

Tear down the walls

@HelenBevan #NHSchange A space (physical or virtual) that is created so people get the choice and opportunity to collaborate without boundaries to achieve a common purpose, tackle a challenge or improve a situationChange platforms tackle silo thinking and other barriers to the exchange of knowledge. They enable a diverse group of people to come to the table, share ideas, insight and learned experience, co-create solutions and launch experiments. Platforms thrive on trust, relationships and the collisions of minds. They build energy for change.

What is a change platform?Definition by @JodiOlden & @HelenBevan 2015

@HelenBevan #NHSchange

Change comes naturally when individuals have a platform that allows them to identify shared interests and to brainstorm solutions.Gary Hamel & Michele Zanini, 2014Build a change platform not a change program
