The Horizons team:
Change agents and change agency
• A small, diverse team of people within
the English National Health Service that
supports change agents and builds
change agency
• We tune into the latest change thinking and
practice in healthcare and other industries
around the world
• The team has emerged through years of supporting
change in the NHS and the wider health and care system
@HelenBevan #Quality2017
Say hello to others on your table
Remember a time
When you were part of a high
performing, high energy team
As a table write down three words or
phrases that summarise how it felt being
part of such a team

It’s where people feel a sense of
“us and us”
rather than
“us and them”
@HelenBevan #Quality2017
Spiritual energy

vision for the future, driven by shared
values and a higher purpose
Gives people the confidence to move towards a
different future that is more compelling than
the status quo
@HelenBevan #Quality2017

safe to do things differently

making progress
The flexible, responsive drive to make things
happen
@HelenBevan #Quality2017

supporting processes, evaluation, and arguing a

Team 1: what’s your assessment of
their energy for change?
The challenge of disproportionately
high intellectual energy
• Intellectual energy on its own isn’t
transformational
• It keeps leaders in their comfort zone (intellect
to intellect)
Emotion is the fuel for change;
data and information provide
direction
Dan Heath
(author of Switch)
Persistent application of power
and authority drains energy
from those in its wake

Team 2: what’s your assessment of

Where’s the energy for change in your team?
There has never been a time in the history of health
and care when this advice has been more pertinent
“Leadership is not about
making clever decisions
and doing bigger deals.
It is about helping
release the positive
energy that exists
naturally within
people”
