Hi @chrisjackson,

Q did do a Zoom with Prof Trish Greenhalgh some years ago, about her NASSS framework (ie nonadoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability) for evaluating technology projects in complexity. Do you know it? Might be well worth a look.
Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/GxSFIlBYz0c?si=jzBwcugSl-n8s5A0
Things have moved on since then, with much more practical application of it.

There are some Q members, in Leeds, who are very happy to share how they’ve implemented this project evaluation tool in their work, and all the learnings they have – but that possible Zoom hasn’t moved any further yet.

How would you feel about helping to host a Q Zoom on it, and maybe having a chat with the people who’ve used it – before we go to other members’ question?

It would be great to set something up on this, early in 2024. We’d do all the organising – and I’m sure one of Q’s SIG would be happy to help.

But it would be great to involve someone, like you, who has a similar challenge and could really benefit from their advice and experience,

Let me know what you think.

Matthew

PS I know there’s a tool in the Liberating Structures set that is about understanding whether challenges being faced by a project etc are complicated vs complex etc: https://www.liberatingstructures.com/27-agreement-certainty-matrix/

But it’s one that I’ve heard mixed things about. Seems like they’ve not cracked it. Not sure I’ve heard that about other Liberating Structures tools. So this certainly seems to be an area where the challenges just haven’t been overcome yet.

HI Chris,

This tool was developed by some former colleagues of mine at Cincinnati Children’s hospital. It is very rigorous and might need a bit of simplification for your context.

Hope useful:
