Change Guide eLearning programme
Organisation Development - Improving Change Capacity has developed an eLearning Programme to accompany the Health Services Change Guide. This is part of our continued commitment to improve capacity for change and innovation. People are at the centre of all our change initiatives. The Health Service Change Guide focuses in particular on ‘People’s Need Defining Change’.
