Workshop: Deploying trust building, thinking, and learning tools to create an inclusive culture of innovation and collaboration
21st Nov 2018 9:00am-1:30pm,
Facilitators: Jorn Bettin and Andrew Shewring,
Partners at S23M
Where: HiNZ Conference in
Wellington, Shed 6
When: Wednesday 21 November, 9am to 1.30pm
Cost: $149 inc. gst
This workshop brings together a broad range of professionals working in the
healthcare sector, academic researchers, and creative innovators to jointly
tackle wicked problems that don’t have an obvious solution. In most cases deep
innovation and breakthrough improvements in performance are the result of an
interdisciplinary effort, drawing on insights from disciplines that lie beyond
the focus and capabilities of any single organisation. Whilst the level of
automation is rising in many domains, human tacit knowledge, situational
awareness, and the ability to develop trusted relationships amongst peers and
with patients are critical elements of optimal service delivery.
The organisers encourage participants to submit concrete problem statements in
advance and to bring along their culture and collaboration challenges for
discussion with peers in Open Space. The workshop is facilitated by S23M,
using a proven set of techniques for creating productive working groups and
achieving actionable results with up to more than 1,000 people.
OpenSpace is
entirely participant driven. It works best when the work to be done is complex,
the people and ideas involved are diverse, the passion for resolution (and
potential for conflict) are high, and the time to get it done was yesterday.
It’s been called passion bounded by responsibility, the energy of a good coffee
break, intentional self-organisation, spirit at work, chaos and creativity,
evolution in organisation, and a simple, powerful way to get people and
organisations moving — when and where it’s needed most.
A first topic suggestion has been submitted by Pete Chandler, COO, Bay of
Plenty DHB:

If you would like to propose a specific challenge or problem for discussion, please email Jorn Bettin.
For further information and and registration please visit the S23M workshop page on the HiNZ conference website.
Who should attend?
Health sector managers, clinicians, health informaticians, eHealth project
managers, academics, innovators, and government personnel
Format
The Open Space is facilitated by Jorn Bettin and Andrew Shewring from S23M, to
create an inclusive environment that encourages divergent thinking, mutual
trust, and interdisciplinary learning – three ingredients that are in short
supply in most organisations.
As is customary during Open Space workshops, attendees may choose to
participate in one or in multiple working groups during the event. Often some
attendees remain focused on one working group, whilst others choose to divide
their time between multiple working groups.
