  1. Organising for Quality – The Story of Toyota and General Motors From test and initial success To spread and sustainability

  2. Healthcare Context Organising for Quality • Research into what it takes to successfully organise to deliver high quality care • Eight organisations studied: macro and micro systems • Organising for quality, Bate et al, 2008

  3. Achieving and Sustaining Improved Quality • Successfully recognised and addressed all six challenges on an ongoing basis • In ways that have been appropriate to the local contexts in which they have found themselves

  4. Common Challenges, Diverse Solutions • Structural • organising, planning and co-ordinating quality efforts • Political • addressing and dealing with the politics of change surrounding any QI effort • Cultural • giving quality a shared, collective meaning, value and significance within the organisation

  5. Common Challenges, Diverse Solutions • Educational • creating a learning process that supports improvement • Emotional • engaging and mobilising people by linking QI efforts to inner sentiment and deeper commitments and beliefs • Physical and technological • designing physical systems and technological infrastructure that supports and sustains quality efforts

  6. The flip side • Structural • fragmentation, lack of joined-upness between different part of organisation doing QI • Political • Disillusionment, blocking and resisting change • Cultural • Evaporation, not rooted in habitual thinking and behavioural routines; reminiscent of programme or project based QI

  7. The flip side • Educational • amnesia or frustration, knowledge is forgotten or fails to accumulate, QI skills don’t keep pace with aspirations • Emotional • disinterest or fade out, run out of energy and forward movement • Physical • exhaustion as people try and do it all by hand, no way of taking the weight of necessary activities

  8. Learning from NUMMI • Why did the NUMMI plant succeed? • What’s currently enabling your improvement work to succeed? • What stopped GM spreading the success from NUMMI throughout the organisation? • What will stop your organisation spreading success in improvement? • What can you do about it?
