When NWADASS invited me to work with them to capture learning about workforce integration across health and social care I immediately knew that I wanted to get into the people aspects of change. Where I’ve seen real change happen, at pace, is where people have been empowered, enabled and equipped to come together, get to know and understand each other better, share challenges and ideas and start to try something new. My interest was immediately sparked when I heard that several other councils had begun their journey towards blended roles at the same time as Tameside and yet Tameside had, when I began this work, been the only North West council to successfully implement. I wanted to get to the heart of what it was about Tameside’s approach that had made the biggest difference……click the pic to read more
It’s my second business birthday!! Where did that time go?! I take time out to reflect on my journey, how my work relationships have changed since I became freelance and the challenges of enabling different in big public sector organisations. I couldn’t let my anniversary go without a nod to my Great Auntie Janie, my childhood role model who taught me I didn’t have to conform
If you’re a social worker or occupational therapist working part time, I’d love to hear your experiences. What are the practical things that make it work? What makes it hard? How do we do more of it? I’m working with the LGA and ADASS to learn more so we can work alongside councils to enable more flexible working to be available more often. Click the pic for more…….
Change is an ever-constant in public services and there are loads of examples of brilliant changes that people have made happen. So why aren’t these examples spreading and scaling? What stops us learning from what others have done? What do you want to know and how do you want to know about it so that you can draw on the experiences of other change agents to make change happen where you work? Clic the pic to read more ……..
I’m exploring the crucial role of leaders in creating environments where people learn every day and always. It’s a talent that the most pioneering international organisations have mastered. We can’t learn to our full potential if our heads are full and we have no down time or space for reflection. Here’s my advice for maximising your learning potential this summer…….click the pic for more
My Lessons in Learning blog series aims to help leaders to understand how to create learning cultures that enable people to recognise and maximise the impact of the learning that we all do every day and always. I’ve been doing an experiment where for a month I’ve been capturing what I’ve learned on a regular basis to see how this helps me to help leaders create learning environments. Here are my big 3 take aways. Click on the pic to find out more……..
I believe creating learning cultures is one of the most important skills for leaders to have. I’m on a mission to help people understand what learning cultures look like, why it matters and how to create one. As part of my Lessons in Learning series I’m doing an experiment to see what I discover by capturing my learning every day for a month and how that helps leaders to think about creating cultures where people learn every day as part of doing what they do. I’m half way through so today I’m taking a step back to reflect on what I’ve discovered so far. Click the pic to find out more………
When I talk about creating a learning culture, it can feel a bit amorphous and hard to get hold of. The culture we work in can manifest itself in many ways - our behaviours, how we interact with one another, the mindsets that frame our thinking, as well as the physical things that are around us in our work environment. If we haven’t experienced working in a learning culture, how can we start to create one? I draw on my own experiences to paint a picture. Click on the pic for more…..
