The power of co-creation



The power of the platform “Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and their lesser cousins have proved the

power of the platform.

They have shown that if your average 21st century citizen is given the

tools to connect and the freedom to create, they will do so with

enthusiasm, and often with an originality that blindsides the so-called

creative industries. …..

Good leadership is no longer about ‘taking charge’ or imposing a

strategic vision but about creating the platforms that allow others to

flourish and create”

Ashoka, “What does leadership mean in the 21st century?”


http://www.virgin.com/unite/entrepreneurship/what-does-leadership-mean-in-the-21st-century




@HelenBevan

• systematic “change management”

• too often, leaders prescribe outcome and method of change in a top-down way

• change is experienced by people at the front line as “have to” (imposed) rather than “want to” (embraced)

Change Programmes

• everyone with an interest can help tackle the most challenging issues

• value diversity of thought • connect people, ideas and

learning • Role of formal leaders is to

create the conditions and get out of the way

Change Platforms

“Tear down the walls”



“A space (physical or virtual) that is created so people get the choice and opportunity to collaborate without boundaries to achieve a common purpose, tackle a challenge or improve a situation

Change platforms tackle silo thinking and other barriers to the exchange of knowledge. They enable a diverse group of people to come to the table, share ideas, insight and learned experience, co-create solutions and launch experiments. Platforms thrive on trust, relationships and the collisions of minds. They build energy for change.”

What is a change platform?

Definition by @JodiOlden & @HelenBevan 2015


“Change comes naturally when individuals have a platform that allows them to identify shared interests and to brainstorm solutions.”

Gary Hamel & Michele Zanini, 2014

Build a change platform not a change program


http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/organization/build_a_change_platform_not_a_change_program



Evolving kinds of change platforms:

1. Connecting platforms

2. Mobilising platforms

3. Learning platforms

4. Knowledge platforms

5. Crowdsourcing platforms They overlap!



Platform principles have long been part of change practice

• Building on traditions in the field of organisation development of communities of interest and communities of practice

• Technology enables us to connect more widely and at greater speed

The Academy of Fabulous NHS Stuff



A platform for Trust-wide transformation Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust & Clever Together

WayFinder – a Crowdsourcing methodology and platform

• Step 1: 4,500 staff and stakeholders shared 45,000 contributions to co-create The Leeds Way – a redefinition of their vision and their values

• Step 2: WayFinder local – every department trained to use its own crowdsourcing platform

Examples of results:

• Staff satisfaction is up / buy-in to vision and values at an all time high / complaints down 17% / 18weeks RTT down by 66% / CQC acknowledgement of staff engagement and impact on quality and safety

@HelenBevan

• Board sponsorship and buy-in (it helps)

• Clearly linked to the organisation’s vision, values and strategy

• A culture that promotes open engagement and values staff

• A clear process for innovation and quality improvement

• “No idea is bad” rule

• Demonstrate quick measurable wins

• Take the good with the bad (don’t succumb to risk-aversion)

• Keep it live and fresh

• Build in rewards: say “thank you” and recognise contributions

• Informal innovation champions > organisational radicals

The Change Challenge

Tapping the collective brilliance of the NHS



• The biggest-ever digital campaign for EMAP (Health Service Journal and Nursing Times)

• 14,000 contributors to the joint campaign to “challenge top down change”

• Ground-breaking: the first-ever crowd-sourced theory of change in the NHS



• Build bridges between disconnected groups • Activate radicals and engage them in action for change • Change the story of how we undertake large scale and

transformational change in the NHS • Lead from the edge using new era methodology

Objectives to:



The process:

Step 1 : The build-up Setting the right foundation for campaign launch

Step 2: Launch campaign, explore barriers and enablers Weeks 1-4 Launch the campaign for bottom up change and questions to the crowd to develop the barriers and building blocks for change.

Step 3 Propose solutions Weeks 5-6 Crowd invited to share, build and validate list of potential solutions

Step 4 Develop toolkit Week 7 best ideas selected by crowd and panel selects Weeks 8-9 crowd develops best ideas into tools Weeks 9-11 works on key outputs

Step 5: Spread and Embed Week 12 Publication of interactive guide / ‘new era’ toolkit / manifesto for change / celebrated cases Development

of the process, questions, objectives and comms plan

Questions:- What things block or help you from delivering bottom-up change: · inside your organisation, to improve or transform services, and · across organisations to improve the health and wellbeing of a local population?

Questions:- What solutions work? What approaches have you used or observed that others could learn from and copy? Please share your stories and learning about what did and didn't work. What solutions should we test? What ideas do you have that we could test out? Share ideas (these can be completely new) that you believe could support bottom-up change in the NHS, if we gave them a chance.

47 ideas selected for the crowd to develop. Crowd asked to develop these into workable tools; tangible and practical enough to be used widely across health and care organisations to deliver bottom up change for patients, staff and the public. To do this, please tell us: - what steps need to be taken, - who needs to be involved, and - what commitments…

The HSJ and Nursing Times share outputs : • project overview, • ‘how to’ guides for

application of crowdsourcing

• ‘how to’ toolkit of prioritised ‘hacks’/ solutions

Result: a foundation for a social movement of bottom up change

Project over 12 weeks



Reach and scale: • 3,595 people involved - from 45 different

countries

• 13,895 ideas, comments and votes shared - collectively identifying:

Final outputs were

• 10 barriers

• 11 building blocks

• 16 solutions


@HelenBevan

14,000 contributions identified 10 barriers to change: Confusing strategies

@HelenBevan

The power of the platform “...demonstrates, yet again, the collective brilliance of the people who work in the NHS and wider care system” @HelenBevan



How to create a change platform #1 • Be clear about your intention or goal:

• Solve a problem? • Learn from others? • Create solutions? • Mobilise for change? • Spread innovation?

• Articulate your mission • Design the stages in your process

• Sprints and hacks



How to create a change platform #2 • Identify the people you want in your community • Identify how to reach them • Find a platform

• Existing or new • Free or paid for • Virtual or face to face

• Measure the outcomes (all the way through) • Engage your community • Set their expectations • Keep the connections flowing • Convert ideas to actions • Always, always follow up


@HelenBevan

Case study: System redesign principles for care models


@HelenBevan

“Help us to capture system redesign principles for care models to get better,

quicker outcomes from change”

#CareDesign



Platform methodology for our redesign principles Pre-sprint Sprint 1 Sprint 2 Sprint 3

Expert group sense-check of redesign principles & crowdsourcing process

“Have we got the right redesign principles?”

“Tell us about the redesign principles in action”

“How do we make the redesign principles happen?”

V1.0 of redesign principles paper “Starter-for-ten” shared with expert group of “systems engineers” both from within and outside the NHS

The ten redesign principles will be presented via the crowdsourcing platform to our collaborators (widespread engagement)

Invite practical examples and case studies that demonstrate the refined ten redesign principles working and in action

Invite collaborators to signpost us to tools, methods, resources and methodologies that can help in the implementation of the redesign principles

Output from each sprint becomes a new version of the paper. The socially derived redesign principles are then open for the next sprint and round of crowdsourcing

& an invite to join the collaboration platform


mailto:[email protected]


● Only 1% participate fully so start with a big crowd ● Inject thought diversity to guard against groupthink ● Mix high domain knowledge with those with high creativity

Choose the right crowd Choose the right incentives

● Crowdsourcing cannot happen without a vibrant, committed community ● Rewards must balance intrinsic & extrinsic motivators

Crowds do not replace the team

● You’ll get volume & diversity from the crowd but be prepared to match it with equal time & effort to herd, sift & identify contributions

Crowds need love too!

● Crowds need direction & guidance to help them feel part of their community & give of their best

Keep it simple

● Break complex tasks down ● Tasks must be small, simple & fun & fit into your crowd’s spare time

Remember Sturgeon’s Law

Communities are always right!

Fulfilling self-actualisation

● “90% of everything is crap / 10% of everything is not crap” ● Allow the crowd to surface its best through voting to the top

● Crowdsourcing works because creativity, spontaneity, problem-solving & affiliation achieve self-actualisation (Maslow / Howe)

● Top-down management style does not work in crowds, nor does grass-roots anarchy ● Lead with the moral authority the crowd allows
