Reflect, Recover, Renew – team reflection
Organisation Development - Improving Change Capacity has developed a Team Reflection on Change to assist teams to acknowledge and make sense of the rapid and emergent change experienced in recent times supporting a just and resilient recovery.
The guidance assists teams to engage in a process to Reflect, Recover and Renew and consider the impact of COVID-19 on service delivery and practices. This is an important part of the organisational recovery process which will be different for each team/service. It is important therefore to apply the guidance as best meets local needs.
Reflect Recover and Renew is based on the approach set out in the Change Guide and is focused on understanding change in complex healthcare systems. To assist teams in self facilitating a process of reflection in a structured way, we have created a suite of resources which will enable teams to:
- Take time with colleagues to pause and reflect
- Consider the learning and make sense of your experiences
- Identify what individual and team supports are needed
- Plan for how services can be resumed or redesigned
- Consider how new practices can be implemented
- Build on new relationships to sustain improvements
These resources consist of the following:
1. Explainer video on the purpose of Reflect Recover Renew, outlining the tools teams can use to support them through the process. This explainer clip is aimed at team members who would like to facilitate a session with colleagues and it is also useful for any staff member.

2. A pre-prepared power point presentation for use when facilitating a team session. This has been designed with helpful presenter notes built in.
3. Template (6.5.1) Reflect Recover Renew – Making Sense of Rapid Emergent Change which is intended to support teams to consider what has changed, what we have learned from our COVID-19 experiences and what actions are needed. The template is further supported by the infographics listed below (Reflect Recover Renew Resources) which are aligned to the Health Services Change Guide. We would love to receive feedback on how you and your team used the resources so please connect with us via
