Flat organisations with limited central control that ‘self-organise’ are considerably more effective. This fresh approach creates considerable opportunities in health and social care

• Flexibility and responsiveness around the patient/client.
• Greater scope for staff to use their professional skills.
• Happier, more fulfilled staff.
• Cost-effective through not having to carry big overheads.What does it mean for a organisation to move decisively in this direction?

This one-day course offers health and social care organisations the opportunity to explore in balanced, reflective way what self-organising offers to tackle the challenges of the health and care agenda.

Using some of the principles of self-organising, the course sets out what self-organising means in practice and explores the key questions everyone has to consider in deciding to take up the approach:

• What examples are there of successful self-managing organisations and what are the magic ingredients they share?
• What are the building blocks of a flexible organisational structure that supports self-organising?
• How can clarity around roles and accountabilities be created?
• What happens to accountability, governance, performance management and safety for organisations operating under the principles of self-organisation?
• How can ending up with a chaotic free-for-all be avoided?
• How can responsible, binding decisions be taken under self-organising?
• How can the format of meetings be designed to move towards early action that has real buy-in?
