  2. Aims of the session • Offer you a model for thinking about how you might behave and lead in a change situation • Introduce you to the idea of tame and wicked problems • Encourage you to think about how you apply your leadership qualities to wicked problems • Use Momentum as a backdrop to thinking about how you might behave differently in your leadership role.

  5. Three elements to the Programme: • Service Transformation and the redesign of care pathways, • New community based facilities to deliver care closer to home, • New hospital to replace the existing two in Hartlepool and Stockton. Our Vision “A patient centred and clinically driven local NHS responsive to the needs of local people, delivering the best quality care available in an integrated and efficient way, in first rate facilities as close to home as possible by well trained professionals using state of the art knowledge and equipment.”

  6. Momentum is a massive change management programme: • 20% reduction in general & acute beds (124) beds • 18% reduction in average length of stay (0.8 days for emergencies) • 10% reduction in acute based staff (400 wte) • Fewer operating theatres and consultation rooms • 40% of A&E attendances in town centre minor injury units (40,000 patients) • 40% of all outpatient appointments in community locations (160,000 appointments) • 15% of elective procedures in community locations (6,000 procedures)

  7. Pre-requisites for successful change management • Accepted need to change • A vision / alternative state • Change agents • Sponsorship from above • Scale and pace of change • An integrated transition programme • A symbolic end to the status quo • A plan for likely resistance • Constant advocacy • A locally owned benefits plan • (Grint, 2008)

  9. Tame vs. Wicked Problems Tame problems • Complicated • Difficult • Usually resolvable through unilinear acts • Likely to have occurred before • Limited degree of uncertainty • There is always an answer Wicked problems • Complex • Affects the environment in which the problem lies • No relationship between cause and effect • Often not really solvable • Requires leadership

  10. Wicked problems in the context of Momentum • Funding approval • Capacity Planning • Managing the transition • Local politics and public opinion • Policy environment • New players on the block • Collaboration v competition • £40m Challenge

  11. Or perhaps? • Which services does it just not make sense for us to continue to provide? • What is our core business? • Do we really believe in integrated care pathways or only when we are the boss of that pathway? • Others?

How as a leader might you behave differently to how you may have behaved to date to facilitate a clumsy solution (rather than yours) to the wicked problem of:
