  1. Quality of life

  2. Changing complex systems • Complex systems seek stability • People living in complex systems take comfort from stability and fear change • Attempts to change them often result in unanticipated consequences • Those trying for change get the blame whatever the outcome • We tend, therefore to tinker round the edges rather than trying for transformational change

  3. Complex adaptive systems • Not machines so no traditional forms of control • Leadership is distributed. The boss can’t control everything • Small changes in one area might have large impacts elsewhere and vice versa • Outcomes are unpredictable so continual monitoring and learning and chage is part of the process of change

  4. Changing complex systems • Challenge the stability of existing behaviours and structure • Set simple, order generating rules • Expect new insights and ideas to emerge • Have an open, learning attitude, using plan, do, study act cycles • Keep calm and carry on!

  5. Albert Einstein • Insanity “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

  6. Improvement science • W Edwards Deming (1900-1993) • “In God we trust, all others must bring data” • “By what method? Only the method counts.” • Don Berwick • “Some is not a number. Soon is not a time.” • Scottish Patient Safety Programme • “By how much and by what method?”
