Course description
Managing and Leading Data Driven Innovation
Successful implementation of data-driven innovation depends on managing organisational culture and structures, management models (policies, practices and processes), tools and technologies, behavioural and attitudinal change in service users and other stakeholders within and across health, social and care services systems. This course highlights the importance of effective leadership, understanding organisational contexts, workflows and routines, and user cultures and preferences when designing, planning and delivering data-driven health, social and care services. This course introduces the main theories and methods from the management and organisational sciences relevant to health, social and care services. It explores management and effective leadership in data-driven innovation, drawing on examples from the health, social and care services sector. In later weeks, the course will focus on case studies from the health and social services sector and data science; involving service user data. Students will use these case studies to learn how to make complex decisions based on incomplete data or contested information with uncertain consequences about effective leadership and what is needed to manage and appraise change effectively.
