Planning for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, the changes and impacts will continue for some time. It’s during times like this when you need you remember that you are part of a community of best practice, so don’t be alone. The Forum is your friendly, safe environment for sharing ideas, top tips and pitfalls to avoid. In this time of uncertainty its important that we collaborate and work together, bringing together ideas and use this time as an opportunity to learn and continue to raise standards.

We have designed three short series of learning academy modules, along with a top-tips & pitfalls to avoid for homeworking webinar and then a virtual networking group to help you. Phil Anderson has written an article about some of the considerations you might need to make.

Box Set: Driving Improvement with MI (Management Information) & Reporting

MI, reports and dashboards are key to the success of any organisation, but are they as effective as they could be. Are they easy to understand, are they focussing on what matters most and are they driving improvement? In this box set we will provide you with ideas and tools that will help you generate improvement and challenge your thinking around topics such as dashboards, operational playbooks, strategy, and target typology.
