We had a brilliant day with Salesforce last week at our first #QVisit exploring strategy. Thanks for your excellent summary, Dimitri Varsamis PhD 👇
🪇 Under The Sea or 🎵 A Whole New World, high up above the clouds? Both, it seems, when you are in #SalesforceTower in London! (hence my collage) 🧑💼 My 3rd role in the #NHS, at the Healthcare Commission (R.I.P.) had a focus on #regulatorystrategy, and I was hooooked! Didn’t look back. 🦘 So I jumped at the opportunity to hear from Salesforce on how they engage colleagues from the whole organisation towards an aligned #corevision and objectives: 💠Autonomy is the word-du-jour in the NHS as the way to hyper-localise care planning and delivery; on the other hand, others would argue that, at a 60m population, much more can be achieved by a ‘top-down’ programme setting and delivery approach. 💠We were treated to a masterclass of how other organisations balance these forces, starting with the 🪖military mission command: centralised intent but decentralised execution. 💠We focused on the #V2MOM framework used by #Salesforce as a roadmap to create plans, turn them into execution and ultimately into results. 💠We will all recognise commonly used categories of focus here: · Vision — what do you want to achieve? · Values — what’s important to you? · Methods — how will you do it? · Obstacles — what could get in your way? · Measures — how will you know if you are successful? 💠What is particularly interesting is how this model brings all these TOGETHER, and is used across the organisation by ALL staff, to summarise what each person is doing, and then communicate it clearly to the entire company. 💠🙏 Thank you to George Griffin for leading the session and Jane Tyacke for hosting us and delivering this event.

While some of us were in the room, many more attended online in this smoothly-delivered #hybrid event. ⭕I have been a member of Q for many years; thousands across the UK and Ireland, collaborating to improve the safety and quality of healthcare, with a focus on #improvement. ⭕Among other activities, #QCommunity members can apply for #funding to support continued #collaborativeworking that strengthen networks and applied learning (I am an assessor for these 😏) https://lnkd.in/dj2zPFNX NHS England, Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Health and Social Care Northern Ireland , Improvement Cymru, Health Service Executive #healthcareleadership
