Trace: What led us here (2022-2023):  December 2022 Chaired by Helen Mancini on Kline Appreciative enquiry.

January 2023 – Chaired by Helen Mancini who facilitated the Kline approach which encouraged debate and sharing of what we need from our leadership programme.

February 2023 – Chaired by Sarah Phillips – This session we adopted complex facilitation and our first hybrid session. Our colleagues who would otherwise been unable to attend felt part of the room. We were able to draw upon key ideas and collate.

July 2023 – ICS Leadership Meeting we said a fond farewell to Annette who has given us decades of her expertise. Her parting gift sharing her retirement slides to our hybrid leadership group.  She attended following her recommendation for an apprenticeship programme for leadership.  This was endorsed by the group ready for taking forward as a system rather than individually, which was the plan.  In October 2023 we saw the development of our microsite where we will as ‘One ICS Team’ share with colleagues in each partner but deliver as one team.  We are excited to see this reach the stage, which is delivery  (CLP) and expect to see the impact and uncover blocks to progress together and use the learning to moved us toward health at pace. Expressions of Interest for Our Leadership Programme – Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICS (corndel.com)  

September: Evaluation and reporting on all subgroups to provide insight into our best direction of travel.

Our cog in the wheel, catch all for all our Organisational Development is our Community of Practice (CoP) which began in early 2022. Our community connects with nearly 300 individuals from our health and care system which reaches out to all our 70,000 colleagues.  Meeting BI-Monthly in person and online over teams, finding several ways to better connect people whilst offering a space to learn and share best practice and insights into each other practice.   The sub groups and work streams all connect into the CoP.

The CoP is now mature at delivery stage and is a true system asset for OD, Culture and Improvement, enabling meaningful culture change through creating climates for co-design, collaboration, learning and innovation.

From the onset, we have chosen to take an innovative approach by introducing a CoP to support exploring and mobilising Culture, Improvement and Leadership interventions. We do this by bringing together Organisational Development, Improvement and change expertise, thus capitalising on the wealth of skills and passion for quality improvement across our health and community led services.

Community of Practice – ODI  May 2023 – Activation of our ICS strategy;  See a Video snippet  Ceased in October 2023

September 2023 : In person application of ICS Strategy to co-produce the 3 areas of focus for Talent and Leadership in 2023-2024  and update on NHS Impact and how that sits firmly in leadership approach. Sarah updated on how the work in the UWE, sub working groups and Leadership group has kept us in the correct direction. Using an accelerated design approach, ICS colleagues are invited to attend our working groups within Talent and Leadership to help shape our ICS and inform our Talent and Leadership Strategy. 

Trace: Since 2021, Several task groups were established from within the CoP and delivery groups in Kindness, Civility and Respect, Leadership Development and Improvement Forum and a large community of practice. Joined as one of the first pilot sites for the Culture Leadership Programme for system application and in line with this research into our system from UWE, which has guided us from our system applied to current leadership thinking.
