First time ever in Australia!

A Master Class for Boards, Executive Teams and Improvement Leaders
The UK public sector faces an unprecedented challenge of increasing quality and safety, improving patient experience of health care services and reducing cost at a time when actual demand and public expectation is rising. ’For the first time, the demographic impact of an ageing population is starting to affect resources in Australasia. The answer is to save cost through quality improvement – but what works and what doesn’t? A team of experts from the UK and Australasia can provide some real insights that will save time and effort in developing your improvement plans.

As many as 80% of large scale change projects fail to deliver to expectation. Why is this? We have some important and surprising answers to this question that will reduce the risk of failure. And forthose working on current projects or planning new ones it is essential you bring these along for discussion and understand what it will take to bring your improvement project to successful fruition.

Delegates are requested to bring any current or planned project with them in order to gain the maximum impact from this workshop. It will be a unique opportunity to gain input from people who have delivered highly successful change initiatives and improvement projects.

What you will gain from participating in this event:

Moreover we want to help delegates learn from the latest in Experience Based Design into systems for improvement and the impact of Activity Based Funding on your organisations.
