Proof of concept evaluation of a project using ‘conversations inviting change’ methodology to support the development of in-place systems leadership in local care hubs

This evaluation took place between March and August 2018 and was commissioned by the NHS

Leadership Academy on behalf of Kent and Medway Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) and

delivered by East Kent Community Education Provider Network (EK CEPN). The programme consisted

of three development sessions carried out over two sites, or multi-professional teams known as hubs,

clusters or primary care networks by an experienced facilitator using the model ‘conversations inviting

change’. This model embodies a narrative approach that recognises the domains identified by the

National Leadership Academy of individual effectiveness, relationships and connectivity, innovation

and improvement, learning and capacity building (NHS Leadership Academy, 2017).
