"People change what they do less because we give them analysis that shifts their thinking than because we show them a truth that influences their feelings” - John Kotter, 2002
Change and innovation are essential in the health care sector, we all agree on that. We need to keep up with changing ideas about what constitutes good treatment and, of course, keep up with changes in legislation and regulations. The mental health sector has faced significant changes in recent years. Because change requires substantial energy and effort a clear vision, your vision, is naturally a key element of any change. The secret is combining this vision with successful implementation.
How can you bring about desired changes within your organization? At Plexus, we see this as a process made up of the following phases:
-
Getting to grips with the facts; the art of taking a fresh look at your results, and the results of others who are doing similar work
-
Feeling; we could do things differently to
-
Wanting; we desire to do things differently
-
Designing; making concrete plans about how to do things differently
-
Motivating; this is our own initiative, we can achieve this change and it will make a difference
-
Taking action!
-
Putting measures in place to safeguard the change and ensure a continuous process of improvement
Of course every change requires a specific program during which the directors and the management play a crucial role. Management defines the route along which the change process will occur.
