Our vision:
Capital People seeks to influence London’s Healthcare system so that it actively embeds inclusion and promotes the kind of culture change which helps people and organisations rediscover and express their humanity.
About Us:
The Capital People programme brings together a range of innovative and experienced providers who want to deliver on our ambition to support leaders in the healthcare system. Even though they have different ideas and skills, they’re united in their belief that an increasingly complex NHS needs a change programme which is radical. One that’s transformational, rather than transactional. One that supports the quiet revolutionaries in the system: the people who can transform the way we deliver care once they have the confidence and know-how.
What we do:
For those of us that long for more creative approaches, the help and support that works with our real experiences, and moves away from ‘tick box’ approaches – Capital People has heard and will respond to this longing. We recognise that it is only by supporting leaders in their development of themselves and others that people can feel sufficiently valued and enabled to produce outstanding results.
At this moment in time, Capital People hopes…
1) To Identify and articulate what is meant by inclusion,
2) To understand more about what types of interventions work through taking an experimental approach
3) To co-creatively work with leaders in the system
In line with this, we are focusing our efforts on carrying out 3 new interventions:
1) Communities of Practice for Diversity and Inclusion:
These are groups of people made up of staff from across the system who share a common passion for a particular area and meet regularly to discuss ideas for best practice. This intervention brings the focus back to the people who know the system best.
2) Inclusion Labs
These are organisationally specific interventions which will be tailored to particular organisations based upon a diagnostic framework of inclusion and feasibility
indicators, and in depth-discussions with the organisations. This intervention brings the focus to the parts of the system that need it most.
3) Thinking and Writing Groups.
These interventions emphasise the importance of stories and narratives in reinforcing organisational behaviours, values and subsequent culture. This intervention focuses on changing the deeply rooted organisational norms that hold back our ambitions to develop an inclusive culture.
