Слайд 10At present, prevailing strategies [in healthcare] rely largely on outmoded theories
of control and standardisation of work. More modern and much more effective, theories seek to harness the imagination and participation of the workforce in reinventing the system

Слайд 12Self-Organization
Self-organization is a process whereby local interactions give rise to patterns
of organizing.

Слайд 15So now what?
How do we lead in a complex system…
Acknowledge Unpredictability
Allow
design to be tailored to local contexts
Emphasize discovery in each intervention setting
Recognize Self-Organization
Develop “good enough”
Facilitate sense-making

Слайд 16So now what?
How do we lead in a complex system…
Facilitate Interdependencies
Reinforce
existing relationships when effective or foster new ones
Encourage sense-making
Encourage Experimentation
Encourage participants to ask questions, admit ignorance and deal with paradox
Seek out different points of view

Слайд 17Adaptive in leadership style
Ask more questions rather than issuing more directives
Build
extra time into meeting agendas so that the adaptive challenges do not get either bypassed in favor of more immediate concerns or treated with short-term technical fixes
Expand the circle of individuals who need to be consulted in exploring possible solutions to the problem

Слайд 18Stay close to those who oppose your ideas; spend time with
them, ask for their input on your initiative, listen closely to their reality (especially when it differs from yours), and take their temperature.

Слайд 35Why do we use TRIZ?
Creative destruction
Challenge the status quo & sacred
cows
Gives permission to discuss taboo subjects
Builds trust
Слайд 36TRIZ – First Step
Be creative! Make yourself laugh! This is SERIOUS
FUN…..
Reflect in your small group, make a list of “to do’s” in answer to:
Слайд 37How will we make the best ideas fail?
How will we stifle
creativity in our staff?
How can we be sure that our staff morale is rock bottom?
How do we ensure that our we harm patients/residents when they are here?
Pick one you like!
Слайд 38TRIZ – Second Step
Go down the list and ask:
Is there anything
on this list that we currently practice, even remotely?
Is there an element of truth in here?
Cross out the ones that you are not doing EVER.
Слайд 39TRIZ – Third Step
Look at your list…what items do you want
to commit to avoiding?
Pick your top two. What will you do to avoid those items?
Do you need leadership or organizational help?
What needs to stop or change? Be as concrete as you can.
Слайд 40When you are dealing with an adaptive challenge that requires creativity,
you have to tolerate the pains of processes that increase the odd that new ideas will lead to new adaptive capacity.

Слайд 67Critical Language
A phrase that is commonly understood to imply “stop
the line – there is a safety concern”
Example: I need clarity
Слайд 69GP: I’m concerned about how sick your mother is. Her breathing
is getting worse. How are you doing looking after her?
Daughter: It’s just me looking after her and it’s getting tougher and tougher doing this all by myself.
GP: It sounds like this is becoming more of a problem and I’m getting uncomfortable with having this load on you at home.
Daughter: I’m just about at the end of my rope, I don’t think that I can look after her anymore.
GP: I think that we will have to stop what we are doing and get you some help caring for her.
Daughter: I found her on the floor this morning and hurt my back getting her back into bed by myself.
GP: This is becoming a safety issue for both you and your mom. We can get some home care to help with her medication and personal care and give you a break until she gets better.
Слайд 71 “Power distance is the extent to which less powerful members of
organizations and institutions accept and expect that power is distributed unequally.”
A high power distance score accepts a hierarchical order in which everyone has a place that needs no further justification.
The higher the power distance in a culture, the less likely those in subordinate roles will question the actions or directions of individuals in authority.
Geert Hofstede’s Power Distance Index
www.Clearlycultural.com
Слайд 72High Power Distance Index Cultures
Authority and demonstrate rank.
Subordinates expect clear guidance
from above.
Subordinates are expected to take the blame for things going wrong (Collateral damage).
The relationship between boss and subordinate is rarely close or personal.
Class divisions within society are accepted.

Слайд 74Can hierarchy cause plane crashes?
Слайд 75 “Korean Air had more plane crashes than almost any other airline
in the world for a period at the end of the 1990s. When we think of airline crashes, we think, ‘Oh, they must have had old planes.’ They must have had badly trained pilots. No. What they were struggling with was a cultural legacy, that Korean culture is hierarchical. You are obliged to be deferential toward your elders and superiors in a way that would be unimaginable in the U.S.
But Boeing and Airbus design modern, complex airplanes to be flown by two equals. That works beautifully in low-power-distance cultures [like the U.S., where hierarchies aren't as relevant]. But in cultures that have high power distance, it’s very difficult.”
Malcome Gladwell,
Outliers – The Story of Success
Слайд 77Canada
Canadian culture is marked by interdependence and value placed on egalitarianism.
Lack of overt status and/or class distinctions in society.
Hierarchy in Canadian organisations is established for convenience.
Superiors are always accessible and managers rely on individual employees and teams for their expertise.
Managers and staff members consult one another and share information freely.
With respect to communication, value a straightforward exchange of information.
Power Distance Index
Score = 39
Слайд 78What do you see in a high power distance index?
Senior-level people
get no information
Senior leaders perceive that everything is going well
Junior-level people do not bring ideas forward.
It’s hard to innovate under these conditions.

Слайд 79Questions to ask yourself?
Are you aware of how others react to
you?
Do they start or stop talking when you enter the room?
Do you feel you can not talk to higher levels in the organization without permission.
Does your organization encourage the use of titles and position

Hint
Slide courtesy of Ron Collins, 2014
Слайд 86Example
A patient has been prepped and draped, and as the surgeon
reaches for the scalpel to begin a right total hip arthroplasty, the circulating nurse notes that the X-Ray on the screen is of a left hip!
This nurse must now assume the role of situational leader; her role is to raise the situational awareness of the entire operating team.
The question is this: “What does she say?”

Team Suggestion
Query
Preference
Hint
Slide courtesy of Ron Collins, 2014
Слайд 90Hint
Is intended to be very general. A hint does not have
any personal reflection or engagement in it; it is not a personal statement! Think “insinuation, innuendo, pointer, whisper….”
For example: “It would be nice to get through the day without making any mistakes.”
Слайд 92Preference
A weakly stated request that recognizes that several options exist. The
person stating the preference does take personal ownership of their idea or request, but it lacks a really strong stance.
For example: “I wish I was in another OR right now!”
Слайд 94Query
A query is a question to draw other’s attention to a
situation without being very direct. The person asking the question is weakly attempting to raise the situational awareness of the rest of the team by calling into question the validity or accuracy of an emerging situation.
For example: “Is that the correct X-Ray?”
Слайд 96Team Suggestion
Elevates the personal statement of one member of the team
to engage the situational awareness of the rest of the team. It may be couched as a personal statement, but it clearly raises the comment to the level of the team; look for ‘we’! The suggestion is not a command and does not suggest an obligation to act: it is only raising awareness.
For example: “Can we check the X-Ray please?”
Слайд 98Team Obligation Statement
A team obligation statement is a strong call to
mobilize the situational awareness of the team. It involves a ‘we’ but includes a ‘must’ or a ‘should’ as well.
For example: “Before we go any further, we need to verify which side this patient has consented to.”
Слайд 100Command
A command is the highest form of one member of a
team raising the situational awareness of the team. It is an imperative to either act or to not act due to impending harm.
For example: “Stop! We are about to make a mistake that will harm this patient
