Practical Change Leadership

By the end of the 2-day programme, participants will be able to:

1. Apply the NHS Change Model and integrate additional evidence-based tools (SEIPS, 5R, SCAMPER, stakeholder mapping, negotiation) to design and lead change with confidence.


2. Diagnose system-level contributors to current challenges using SEIPS and develop targeted improvements that maximise safety, quality, and staff wellbeing.


3. Navigate resistance effectively, understanding human reactions to change through the Justin Clarke 4-Door Model and identifying supportive behavioural strategies.


4. Influence and persuade stakeholders through ethical use of persuasion principles and negotiation techniques from Getting to Yes.


5. Develop clear, compelling change / business cases using the 5-R framework—ensuring that rationale, requirements, results, realities, and recommendations are concise and actionable.

That's an opportunity for participants to spend nearly half a day developing a QI project relevant to them. They will utilise all that they have learnt to start to write, plan, articulate the QI project. They get to share this with their colleagues, helping one another refine the design and the communication of the QI project. At the end of it they will have 

  • a really robust and realistic QI project that leans into creativity and respects the constraints
  • aware of the potential challenges,
  • an understanding of how this will impact at a system level
  • key stakeholders mapped and how to approach them 
  • clarity on what will be required to make it a successful implementation 
  • which principles of persuasion will need to be utilised and how
