14. Creating the Model Interviews of current high performing Directors and key senior NHS executives within London
Raw data from transcripts collated and analysed to identify patterns, cross checked with data from personality profiles of high performing Directors
Elements then grouped into 4 key categories
‘Delivering the Vision’
‘Delivering Through Others’
‘Delivering With Others’
‘Underpinning Behaviours’
For each of the categories, we identified the constituent skills and behaviours and expressed them as active capabilities
In the Interviews = Focused on future of NHS London and predicted qualities of leaders for that vision; skills, knowledge, behaviours & attitudes
In the Data analysis = elements identified both what they needed to do and the way they would need to do it

15. Creating the Indicators This created the Next Generation Directors Model
Reverse engineered the model to create 2009 version
i.e. to describe how someone capable of being a Director in 18 months to 3 years time would be operating today
Defined the observable behavioural components of each capability to create measurable positive & negative indicators
Capabilities and indicators tested with the SHA to agree them 2012 Model = what a successful Director in NHS London might look like 18 months – 3 years from now
2007 Model = each capability reflected the behaviours you would see in a future Director but right now – this model will be shared with those candidates passing through to the next stage of assessment
Specific indicators will not be shared with any candidates, to ensure fairness and confidentiality of the process – they form our ‘marking guide’ so it is not appropriate for them to be shared with applicants2012 Model = what a successful Director in NHS London might look like 18 months – 3 years from now
