Do you ever struggle when planning meetings to find a suitable time for all the attendees? Not to worry, this tip from @HorizonsNHS for @Outlook can save you time and unnecessary stress! 

Improvement

People tend to be overconfident in their beliefs and viewpoints. Research shows people's confidence in the correctness of their beliefs often exceeds the accuracy of their beliefs. "Intellectual humility" means being open to other ideas or evidence. For more insight, click here.

Helen learnt the Deming principle of "driving out fear" 30+ years ago when she started in improvement. These days, we talk about psychological safety. "The Fearless Organisation" by @AmyCEdmondson is a great book on this. Check out this link for a good summary.

The reality is that most of the big changes that make a real difference don't start at the top or centre of the organisation. Change starts at the grassroots or fringes and it start with the activists. Graphic by @OfficeGuyToons.

A wonderful graphic from josie.doodles on Instagram. Too often we only see the future as an extension of what happened in the past. Sometimes our heads & hearts need a little reminder that we don't live there anymore. There are multiple possible futures that we can shape.

Multitasking is a myth. The problem is it requires us to keep switching between contexts and every time we do that, we have to shift attention (to a new context/new set of rules) and disengage from the parallel task. It slows down thinking and learning and erodes memory. Thank you @ImpactWales.

Leaders within the Australian healthcare system have identified "what matters" in digital transformation. The factors are similar for any large scale change initiative. It's HOW we go about the change and WHO we engage as much as WHAT we do. Click here to find out more.

As much as 80% of the knowledge in an organisation is undocumented. That's why networks, communities of learning/practice & sharing conversations are often more effective than good practice repositories/portals, metadata or search systems. Click here for more information.

Humility matters in senior leaders. A new study found  when there's a more humble CEO at the helm, its leadership team is more likely to collaborate, share information, jointly make decisions & have a shared vision. Click here for more information.
