    • Opening Address: “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste” -Turning the Squeeze into an Opportunity

      A crisis and an opportunity are not that different. Each is a critical point at which events will turn for the better or for the worse. A well-managed crisis can become an opportunity. The most important factor is not the challenge itself, but how it is handled. Foundation trusts need to be
      forward thinking, visionary and bold in order to deliver robust, enduring and powerful solutions. In troubled times FTs need shared values, the best talent and an ability to ‘zoom out’ and see past the immediate challenges that face us, whilst also focusing on the detail.

    • Lessons for FTs from the private sector experienceof the recession

      The private sector is emerging from the worst recession in recent times. This session explores what lessons there are for FTs from the private sector experience of recession. How have companies innovated in such difficult times? What actions have been most effective in increasing productivity, doing more with less, and who has been most successful as a result? The session will explore what a new generation of business leaders have learnt from their first experiences
      of recession and give tips for success and failure in driving innovation in such turbulent times.
      Phil Kenmore, Head of Healthcare Consulting, The Hay Group

    • Industrial transformation in the NHS:Preserving a publicly funded health service inan economic downturn

      System transformation, embodied in the operating framework, has become central to every NHS organisation. Over the last decade the NHS has made real advances in the quality of its services and in the experience delivered for most patients. The challenge now is to sustain that advance in quality whilst transforming system productivity. A key question is how the NHS will fare when its growth in funding comes to an end after the next financial year. Deficits are not inevitable and if the NHS responds to the economic downturn as a catalytic event which provokes it to transform its productivity, a better, fitter NHS can result from this challenge.

      The operating framework – quality, innovation and productivity
      The 2010 operating framework provides a further reminder of the scale of the efficiency savings the NHS needs to make if it is to survive the biggest financial challenge it has faced in a generation. The NHS must therefore move from being geared for growth to being entirely focused on sustaining quality, improving services and meeting rising demand, within a shrinking resource envelope.

      Professor Bernard Crump, Chief Executive of the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement

  • 10:10 AM

    • Leading a culture of innovation

      Whilst there is now a lot written about innovation there are some real gaps in the NHS knowledge, namely experience in knowing how organisations can support innovation; how
      to sustain innovation; and how to decommission ideas that don’t work.
      Innovation is an evolutionary process – not a single eureka moment. There is no search for ‘best’, but a series of small changes and improvement which constitute ‘better’.
      Progress is not inevitable and there are many blind alleys and failures along the way.
      
      Innovation requires constant interaction between three
      elements:
      •• A means of generating new possibilities
      •• A means of amplifying useful adaptations
      •• A means of eliminating adaptations that are no longer useful
      
      This session explores how to undertake these three elements in your organisations with examples.
