The term "VUCA" (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) has been popular since the 1980s. However, since the pandemic, VUCA is increasingly being replaced with "BANI" (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear and Incomprehensible). VUCA describes the challenging situation that leaders find themselves in. BANI helps leaders to locate themselves & identify the actions they need to take: https://t.co/Q2jdKjBX8E By @fu_turedesigner

A key ability of a change agent at work is to be able to rock the boat and stay in it. If we set ourselves up in opposition, we can get locked into a one-sided model, which depends on having a big dominant authority system to "oppose" & may not achieve much. Change agents need to work with formal systems of power & authority too: https://t.co/l0mTppPFJz By @antlerboy

I find myself sitting & reflecting on my doodle about rest. Unpicking where I need to slow down, to let go, to protect time, to pace myself & to ask for help

Today, a beautiful listening space by @charlie_psych @bridgetlees1 has inspired change. Recommend their spaces to you all

We can implement all the performance improvement initiatives or new quality systems in the world. But if leaders don't light the way to change through their own everyday behaviours & practices, it isn't going to stick. This new blog sets out powerful research evidence from the evaluation of the NHS/ @VM_Institute partnership: https://t.co/KR3sMVOPWu Great job @DrNicolaBurgess @WarwickBSchool #LeadingQI #QITwitter

#COVID19 has led to significant changes in how health & care services are delivered and used.
