The module will focus on the personal, interpersonal, team, organisational and systems dimensions required to enhance strategic and innovative capacity in health systems. The module will provide skills and concepts in how to lead strategically and innovatively. Students will be facilitated to look inward, outward and forward to examine the nature of strategic sensing and innovative practice and how they are enabled or constrained in particular contexts. It adopts an applied approach to innovation in healthcare, encouraging students to explore their roles as innovators, to examine examples of healthcare innovation in their own practice and global context and to analyse the features of successful innovations and innovative organisations, locally, nationally and internationally. Resilience and leading into the future are key themes, drawing on contemporary theory and practice relating to leadership formation; strategic sensing; innovation management frameworks, systems and strategies; adaptive leadership; reinventing organisations and understanding organisational systems. The module is delivered over a number of workshops and is built around a set of curated texts from authors including Leicester, Heifetz & Linsky, Moore, Laloux, Oshry, Stigter & Cooper, and Western.
