The workshop is aimed at those who are leading and/or supporting change and improvement programmes that are ambitious and large in scale. We’re seeking to make improvement happen in a world that’s increasingly dynamic, fast moving and unpredictable. We need to rethink many of the ways we go about and lead change. In this lively and interactive workshop, we’ll explore novel approaches to engagement, community building, governance, learning and insight and consider how to use them in integrated ways to support large scale change. We will base this on a series of practical case studies.


 As a result of this session, participants will be able to:



  • Discover some powerful new perspectives on leading large scale change, based on actionable insights

  • Utilise practical tools for building engagement, retaining energy and getting outcomes in their improvement, change and/or transformation programme

  • Apply what they learned to support change, improvement and/or transformation in their own context
