Working Together For Change
When developing organisational change, it’s important to know that you’re working towards what really matters to the people you support and your wider stakeholders.
Working Together For Change is a way of ensuring that you’re making informed decisions about your future direction, based on data and information collected through person-centred practices. In this way, everyone gets to have their say in the organisation you aim to become.
What is the Working Together For Change process?
Working Together For Change uses an 8-step process to make sure that you are taking into account the needs, wishes and aspirations of the people you support and your other stakeholders.
The process collates person-centred information gathered from Person-Centred Reviews and person-centred care and support plans and helps the organise see the emerging trends in the data. This will show both what is working well, and what people would like to see change.
Following this, the process supports participants to create a plan to take them forward, which can then be implemented over time and regularly reviewed.
This video explains the Working Together For Change process.
