WORDS OF WELCOME FROM CHRISTINE BAIN I am delighted to introduce you to the work of Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy.

Welcome

WELCOME FROM KATHRYN WINTERBURN Welcome to the first edition of the Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy prospectus. It is a pleasure to introduce you to the team and the range of development interventions and programmes that we offer the Yorkshire and Humber region. There is significant evidence that supports the positive impact of good leadership upon staff morale and ultimately patient care, and while lots of good work has been undertaken we all know more needs to be done. Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy continues to build on seven years of regional investment in leadership and organisation development.

Working in partnership across the region we

see our role as an enabling one that extends the legacy of the activity, continues to raise the profile of the great work that is being delivered and looks for ways to respond, support and enhance leadership and organisation development in the region.

Who We Are and What We Do

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy is a regional organisation responsible for the provision of leadership and organisation development, supporting and enabling our stakeholders to achieve their local objectives. Formerly part of the Strategic Health Authority we have been developing leaders and organisations since 2007. Working in partnership we provide a range of offers to create excellent leadership, excellent organisations, transforming systems together.

Our offer is overseen by the Regional Leadership Council (RLC) a sub-committee of the Yorkshire and Humber LETB Board, who engage directly with our team to shape the direction of our offer.

The RLC is drawn from Chief Executives, Human Resource Directors, Leadership Leads and other interested stakeholders across the local region.

The group is constantly refreshing its membership and welcomes new interest and participation.

Our regional offer has been informed by a significant consultation exercise with a wide and diverse range of stakeholders across Yorkshire and the Humber.

Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy

Who We Are and What We Do

We asked questions to understand the current and future leadership challenges and what those challenges mean for leadership development.

The current regional offer is a direct result of the vast amount of feedback we received. It was clear to us that the region wanted more opportunity to learn and develop together while engaged in real work.

As the Local Delivery Partner (LDP) for the NHS Leadership Academy we provide access for individuals in Yorkshire and the Humber to a suite of high quality core leadership development programmes and leadership tools that aim to professionalise leadership across the NHS. Developed with national and international experts, the national offer provides a valuable and consistent leadership development offer that gives individuals the necessary support to be the best leaders they can.

The following pages provide further details about the regional and national offer as well as who to contact for further information. See also our website at yh.hee.nhs.uk/what-we-do/yorkshirehumber-leadership-academy

The Regional Offer

THE REGIONAL OFFER The following range of interventions adopt an organisation development (OD) approach at the specific request of regional stakeholders, including the opportunity to learn and work together while engaged in real work and transformation. Our main aim in adopting such an approach is to build regional capability and capacity so that development is sustained over time and helps to connect the regional system with itself. Developing networks, enabling development support to ongoing transformation programmes, creating space for strategic conversations are just some of the methods we employ.

The opportunity to learn and work together while engaged in real work.

We tend to do things differently in Yorkshire and the Humber and we are proud of that fact. The range of interventions described here is not exhaustive but provides an indication of the type of responsive development interventions we support. We are always on the look-out for ways that we can utilise our consultancy expertise and knowledge of the market to assist local organisations design and commission a delivery method to suit.

Capacity and Capability

CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY Agile Working An action learning based programme created in partnership with the University of Derby to support organisations in their understanding and approach to agile working. This is a programme suitable for OD/ transformation and information leads and their clients who are or want to develop their collaboration to deliver improvement. We offer the opportunity to join the Agile Leaders Network, a virtual network supporting collaboration between strategic leaders implementing agile working, and/ or a three day development programme supporting the early development of agile working projects.

Change Leaders Network This face-to-face and virtual network provides learning and support for clinicians and managers dealing with leading large scale or complex change for the first time in their careers. Membership is drawn from individuals nominated by their employers and other communities of people already involved in regional work such as Innov8 Associates or Organisation Development.

The focus of the network is to look at the human behaviour aspects of change and much of the content will be co-developed by network members in response to their real world challenges.

Capacity and Capability

CoachNet An internet based coach support system that enables coaches’ clients and organisations to create, manage and review coaching.

Improvement Fellows Development Programme

CoachNet allows clients to search for and find coaches with capacity. Your organisation can track and monitor how effective coaching is within your organisation. It will also provide resources for coaches to access CPD materials and as a communication platform for updates and information.

AHSN Improvement Fellows are invited to join a development programme for 2014/15, focusing on work delivering improved quality and patient safety. The offer has been co-produced with Alison Lovatt, Clinical Improvement Network Director and Hilary Gledhill one of the Improvement Fellows, and comprises workshops, attendance at the JĂśnkĂśping Microsystems Festival and a Community of Practice.

Critical Evidence Based Community

Organisation Development Network

This programme develops a sector spanning leadership community willing to collaborate in dealing with complex problems of the present and creating a space for the co-creation of the future. Running as a series of monthly workshops, it will be enjoyed by leaders who wish to explore the potential of collaboration across traditional boundaries and who seek challenge and fresh approaches to respond to system challenges.

Work is ongoing to refresh our strategic network and provide input that will continue to increase capacity and capability. Strategic calls hosted by the team provide an opportunity for senior level staff to discuss their current work and challenges, share good practice and provide peer support as well as provide a steer to the regional work. The network continues to communicate and connect staff across the region and is working towards an internal consultancy model that provides opportunities to exchange and deploy the OD resource across organisations.

Early Clinical Leadership The team continues to work with individual local and regional and national organisations such as the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management to support this important area of work. We are developing a pilot project to provide leadership development in a multidisciplinary setting to students in the first 5 years of their education.

We are currently developing an OD practitioner programme that will enable ongoing personal development and learning for newer practitioners.

Capacity and Capability

Social Media Sessions In response to a specific request from regional stakeholders we commissioned a social media training programme initially aimed at beginners. We have had an increasing demand for a more advanced programme, which has proved incredibly popular. It is likely the programmes will continue, but again in response to stakeholder feedback going forward we are looking at commissioning a piece of work on how social media is utilised in the workforce.

System Leadership

Really has opened my eyes to a whole new field I knew nothing about. I am sure it will enable me to get good results.

– Social Media Session participant

12 Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy

Working with a range of multi-agency partners and the national system leadership steering group, we are developing a range of support offers to enable leaders to come together to work on local place based “wicked” issues that will transform services.

Team Resilience Resilience is vital as it gives a team the ability to respond positively, to work together well and be motivated to create and work with new ideas. There is increasing evidence from both healthcare and other sectors that resilient teams can deliver increased productivity, provide quality customer service and ensure safe patient care. Our programme develops facilitator

capacity and capability to deliver awareness raising interventions in organisations alongside bespoke, focused team interventions to develop resilience in teams.

Understanding Your Leadership Impact (UYLI) UYLI takes diagnostics used in the Leadership Academy’s Top Leaders programme and utilises these with a day of executive coaching support to the development of senior leaders.

Over 200 senior leaders in the region have taken advantage of this offer to look at the next chapter of their development. The approach uses a 360 diagnostic to examine personal leadership styles and capabilities and identify personal development needs and develop plans for the future.

Diversity and Inclusion

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Innov8:

We have two specific aims:

Current priorities include:

There is significant evidence of the benefits for individuals and organisations of inclusive and diverse leadership in creating healthy, successful organisations. Such organisations build in innovation, resilience and flexibility at every level; they have engaged employees who are included, valued and cared for.

In the NHS there is also a connection between diversity and inclusion in the workplace and creating the right culture for quality care. “Innov8, leading differently for better healthcare” aims to support individuals, groups and organisations to create more effective, diverse leadership able to respond to 21st Century NHS opportunities and challenges.

•

Increase the diversity of NHS leaders, particularly in more senior decision making and governance roles.

•

Increase the number of inclusive leaders in our organisations.

i-Lead: Identifying, recruiting for and developing inclusive leadership qualities and competencies including the highly successful Accelerate programme for inclusive leadership.

14 Yorkshire and the Humber Leadership Academy

Innov8 takes the form of networks, events, programmes, funding opportunities and collaborations across the region as well as one-to-one support for individual leaders.

We are always happy to develop bespoke interventions with organisations as well.

The Innov8 Fund: An opportunity for organisations, networks and collaborations to seek investment to develop more diverse talent and leadership, to cultivate a more inclusive workplace or to improve the capability of teams or departments to provide a more inclusive services and appropriate service.

A new Innov8 Charter: A partnership for a limited number of organisations to work on a clear and specific area of improvement to develop more diverse talent that is endorsed with Board sponsorship and sign-off.

Diversity and Inclusion

Creating an Innov8 hub in collaboration with a small number of Innov8 sponsored Associates.

The Hub will deliver campaign work in the region such as Different Leaders and Women in Leadership, provide workforce and talent analysis services, benchmarking and develop learning resources.

Talent 2020 and Developing Diverse Talent: Incorporating the learning from the local Innov8 work and building on the existing approaches to talent management in each organisation, this is an area of inquiry to better understand the acute talent needs of organisations, what trends exist in supply and demand and how we need to think and act differently to be ‘talent ready’.

This year we are undertaking a piece of action research and exploring options for a local graduate development programme.

Accelerate: A Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) based leadership programme developing inclusive practices of benefit to the individual, their colleagues and service users. It is a practical programme and participants are expected to feedback examples of how they have put the learning into practice between modules and take part in follow on evaluation.

The programme is delivered using techniques from NLP to aid learning and recall. It teaches the participants NLP tools and techniques to aid communication and confidence to enhance the personal skills required to lead effectively.

Incredible course – cannot overstate the influence it has had both personally and professionally.
