2. Sound familiar? “ [There was]…a panoply of ‘special commissioners’, backed by their own bureaucratic apparatus, for different facets of the four year plan, often without clear lines of control, not infrequently overlapping or interfering… It was a recipe for administrative and economic anarchy” Ian Kershaw, ‘Hitler’ p. 367
3. The strategy needs not to be about marginal adjustment but about system transformation
8. Individual specialties – maximum treatment waiting times Case Study One: Northern Ireland Access Specialty Sept 2002 Cardiac surgery 5 years Ophthalmology 5 years Orthopaedics 7 years
12. ‘ Sink school’ cycle of low attainment In this cycle, results will always be poor Results Spare capacity Directed entrants Traditional recruitment Behaviour standards We start here with a history of poor results and behaviour problems. This impacts on our recruitment from our feeder schools, giving small Year 7 groups… … which results in a lot of spare capacity. This means very high numbers of non-traditional entrants destabilise the school In the absence of an effective behaviour management strategy, this causes a major deterioration in standards Which leads to poor results
16. KEY CONCEPT ONE: DROP THE PILOT It’s not about pilots because: They suffer from the problem of scope ‘ Transferable solutions’ don’t transfer Solutions at scale are different in kind to successful projects – Because of risk (and therefore permissions) Because of management resources Because something will happen that will touch everyone – this is scary
17. KEY CONCEPT TWO: WHOLE SYSTEM CHANGE MEANS A WHOLE DIFFERENT APPROACH If it’s not about pilots, then what is it about? It’s about the top of the shop ( first … to make the strategic offer authentic) It’s about the patients (nothing about me without me – populations too?) It’s about the data and information (frequency, quality, timelag) It’s about the doctors (for permission and insight… and when the going gets tough) It’s about the nurses and AHPs (the vanguard of the revolution) It’s about the general management (for project management, resources and assurance) It’s about the institutions (existing… and new?) And… It’s about the vision thing…
18. The difference between a vision and an aspiration: Whilst they are both about notions of a better future… An aspiration is a vague description without sufficient clarity to enable a connection between the desired future state and the next immediate action A vision is a vague description (and necessarily ambiguous to enable ownership) that is sufficiently clear to ‘reach back’ into the present and act as a guide to the range of next steps that could be taken to move towards the goal
19. KEY CONCEPT THREE: IT’S AN UNCERTAIN WORLD There are (I argue) five distinct species of uncertainty: Ambiguity (the source of most conflict, and the death of effective strategy) Vagueness (the reason for most failure from design to execution) Indeterminacy (the risk of freedom) Agent (what might the other fellow do?) Future (time goes by at one unique second per second)

23. THE TRAFFORD GAMBIT (Could we leapfrog Kaiser in the NHS through structural reform?)
24. … and secure appropriate differentiation of specialist surgery to introduce world-class models of care… … whilst bringing together the various strands of acute medicine, A&E, urgent care, out of hours and intermediate care to deliver a more effective unscheduled care system. Beds & Theatres Outpatients Primary care Community Nested Capacity We should explore the introduction of office medicine to replace the primary care/ outpatients distinction…
25. Inaugural Trafford Clinical Congress Process and proceedings 23 rd / 24 th September 2008 “ Exploring integrated services”
26. How do we go forward? There was unanimous support for the principle of integrated service provision from the clinicians that attended the Congress. During the final session, the general management community was mandated to bring forward proposals for how this might be organised. This paper lays out these proposals at their preliminary stage of development. 13
