Long-term, collaborative, data driven strategy that has had local & national impact. It can be done. It's not all about social care capacity. It is about knowing where the problems really are & working together to make it better. Day after day after day. nottinghampost.com/news/loca…

Action bias. Football goalkeepers will jump to the left or right when facing penalties, even though statistically they'd be better off just staying in the middle. Action bias is the tendency to choose action over inaction, even where there's no indication that taking action will help. We tend to (falsely) equate activity with productivity & keeping control. We see action bias frequently in the improvement world. When results don't come quickly, leaders will want more changes, rather than waiting for the improvements to work their way through the system. Deliberately deciding to do nothing is a good practice/skill that improvement leaders need: thedecisionlab.com/biases/ac…. By @TheDecision_Lab

Working in system discharge sometimes feels an uphill battle but lots to celebrate with the teams today as we have started to see some real tangible progress of all their efforts- the benefits of which reach far wider than the people we get home each day but countless others
