SHPA Webinar | Pitching your case for innovation and change
There are thousands of good ideas to improve healthcare, just waiting to be acted upon. 999 of these will never see the light of day. This session will help you make sure your idea is the one that gets picked.
Understanding your organisations priorities and aligning your initiatives to help meet these is a key consideration. Stakeholder engagement and management are critical to enable successful change, and yet are often regarded as fringe activities. The iterative production of a business case plays a critical part in the proactive engagement of stakeholders needed to support a proposal.
Tom Simpson is the Executive Director for Tasmanian Statewide Hospital Pharmacy and has led a number of large scale innovation and change projects which have expanded the roles of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and improved medication safety in Tasmania. In this session Tom will use case studies and some thought experiments to demonstrate how to enhance your stakeholder engagement skills and to package up your idea into a sellable pitch.
Learning Objectives
- Explain how to determine your organisation’s top issues and strategic priorities
- Describe how to correlate your and/or your department’s initiatives with these priorities
- Explain how to transform what you care about and your ideas into wider practice change
- Develop a roadmap to implement practice changes
- Formulate a written case for change.
