Sint Maarten has been heavily damaged by the hurricane Irma last month. I feel strongly connected to the people that I have been working with the last few years. I wish everybody the strenght and wisdom to cope with this disaster. I have the trust that the people of Sint Maarten can keep their hopes up to improve what needs to be improved.
At the end of this month I am scheduled for a training at Sint Eustatius. On transit I hope to visit Sint Maarten.
Healthcare Organisations are continuously developing. They developed their focus from control, through continuous improvement towards commitment in a quality culture. However, I’d like to pose here, breakthrough change in healthcare as well as education institutes is still needed.
More and more this change will be unplanned, emergent. McKinsey and Company did research under 2200 managers in healthcare. Seventy % of these indicate that their strategic planning failed. And the same goes for other sectors.
Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner state that there is more and more proof that Western sequential planning processes are less effective in rapidly changing contexts. Does the Plan-Do-Check-Act-cycle work well enough in cases like that? And what else do we need?
