Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust
Leading strategic change to achieve 3- star and then Foundation status
Challenges:
- A new top level management team affecting organisational culture
- Exceptionally tight timeframes to achieve status objectives
- A need to engage the entire organisation and secure buy-in
Objectives:
- Coaching and supporting new executive team during change
- Develop team to embed new roles and responsibilities
- Focus clinical directors in line with business need
Outcomes: As a result of this work, the Trust achieved recognition at the highest level, in turn providing new capital investment. It delivered the best waiting time performance in the NHS meeting targets two years ahead of schedule. Orcni still coaches its senior clinicians (see clinical leadership).
