“It was a twisting road so we could not see what was around the next corner. At each turn the road became steeper and stonier. Where was it taking us? What should we do? Then through the trees we could see a small patch of sunlight, a small grassy glade.” ~C.R.Milne #Hope

Such a great session to be a part of. #Quality2024
I'm at #Quality2024 live, listening to @AmyCEdmondson talking about principles from her book “The Right Kind of Wrong – The Science of Failing Well”. Amy differentiates three kinds of failures in organisations: 1) Basic failures: caused by carelessness or ignorance 2) Complex failures: caused by a combination of multiple systemic factors, none of which would have caused failure on its own 3) Intelligent failures (the most productive kind): where organisations/teams test new ideas, at small scale to learn & develop.

After a great week supporting improvement @uhsft for #weareuhsweek and thinking about how we fully embed continuous improvement into our culture, this is a good reminder to celebrate the path that takes us to the goal @UHSimprove
Choose progress over perfection.

What a great problem to have… barely enough wall space to display the many posters our staff have created to showcase their hard work. Great atmosphere today at #weareuhs week
