Creativity is essential for improvement: new, better ways of doing things. Creativity needs 2 things 1) time 2) space. Organisations with the best improvement outcomes typically value creativity & build it into thier routines & systems. See: gapingvoid.com/blog/2022/11/2… By @gapingvoid

Back-to-back meetings drain our brains. We need downtime in between to recover. New research: even 10-minute breaks between meetings are enough to reduce stress, improve focus, and boost engagement. Instead of defaulting to 30/60min meetings, we should schedule 20/50min blocks.

Calling all data analysts, fantastic job offer in Stockport 👇 please share @CarolynA_SMBC @JennieNeill @jenniferen @BevMilway

As expected. Reforms to be ‘postponed’ - as they were in 2015 only to be completely abandoned later. History repeating itself.
