This programme is designed for Health Service professionals and managers who are involved in or responsible for changing organisational processes or procedures. It is particularly suitable for practitioners who are undertaking organisational change in challenging contexts, e.g. in complex, ambiguous situations, or ones which require consideration of multiple stakeholder interests. The programme is designed to help delegates to analyse problematic areas, to model and design new processes, to define effective performance criteria, and to make suitable interventions to bring about service performance improvements and related change.

The programme aims to help delegates to develop their precision and to be able to substantiate and justify their change actions, and thereby develop confidence in their service performance improvement initiatives.

This is a one-day version of INPSIRE, to help delegates appreciate what INSPIRE is about, and to start tentatively applying these powerful principles.

In here you can find the materials for the learning component of the renowned INSPIRE methodology.
INSPIRE is an acronym for "INnovation System for Performance Improvement and REorganisation" and is used in complex change environments, typically to change processes, integrate frunctions, develop new ways of working... it is a way of getting Innovation into a given organisation.

This study block lays the methodological foundation of managing projects. The methodology is underpinned by systemic methods in guiding the actions of the project manager, focusing on the methods to help deal with the problematic, messy realities in which the project manager works, and in meeting the challenges of undertaking and instigating change projects in highly complex and political organizational contexts.

This Study Block explores a number of the core techniques required to support project planning, execution and evaluation, together with the supporting software tools.

This Study Block will be dedicated to the analysis of resources, including financial estimation of the project. Also project robustness will be analysed through the use of sensitivity analysis and risk analysis techniques.

This Study Block will be dedicated principally to a detailed outline of the Prince2 approach to project management and to a brief comparison of this method with other project management methods such as PMP/PMBOK.

This is an integrative Study Block, in which delegates will be able practice the operationalisation of their knowledge, in an integrated manner. Delegates will be applying their new knowledge to a problematic situation in a simulation Project Management process.

It is designed to be an integrative component, in which Masters level students will be encouraged to explore the wider intellectual and underpinning debates about the nature of project management methods, principles and academic debates.
