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/… 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.

The Autumn Statement offers significant additional investment in #socialcare. The headline figure of up to £7.5bn over 2 yrs is better than expected and will bring some relief to councils. But there are some caveats, including the postponement of charging reform. A thread.

Jeremy Hunt may delay the vital care cap reform, which would have helped protect people affected by dementia from catastrophic care costs.

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