NHS cuts and Lessons on Change

Yesterday on the Today Program, BBC Radio 4, they were talking to Dr Richard Taylor, MP, about how they could save £20b in the NHS, and not cut frontline services. [click cutting to go to original item]

He refers to a paper produced by NESTA called “the Human Factor”, he quotes it and says “When resources are scare, it is doing things differently that will deliver the kind of transformation we need….”  I think there is a serious lesson here for most businesses.  Salvation and the way forwards lies in:-

1.  The Human Factor, i.e. our people, and

2.  Doing things differently!

More of the same simply won’t work….  Time to change folks.
