We learn by doing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the process, the appropriateness of the Action Research Journal\u2019s 7 quality choice points became prominent. These are, naturally, written for the audience that will submit academic articles. However, if we want effective action, research is inextricably linked with this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming from an action background I am naturally curious about an academic journal\u2019s quality choices. Do they apply for large-scale systems change? If we are starting at the action point\u2014whether that is consultancy, advocacy or direct action\u2014do they help? Absolutely! This post compares the choice points with a large scale positive health system change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vision \u201cbest rural health service\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Country Health` South Australia\u2019s strategic plan set out its vision to be the&nbsp;<em>best rural health service<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, this is a challenge. I was involved with it by delivering a successful and awarded program over four years. Looking back, do academic quality choice points help understand the success and replicate it in different contexts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoiler, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long version. The action research journal\u2019s quality choice points, with this health system intervention as examples, are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Articulation of objectives&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>South Australia Health\u2019s plan goals were clear. How it was going to get there was not so clear. Its objectives included connecting the aspirations from the organization\u2019s strategic plan to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, the strategic plan\u2019s subtle and tacit objectives such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>an inspired and supported workforce<\/li><li>fostering innovation<\/li><li>teamwork accomplishing shared goals<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>were, effectively, not measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given we pay attention to what we measure it seemed unlikely\u2014to us, management and staff\u2014such strategic goals would drive performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our consulting engagement\u2014the program became called an Integral Performance Framework\u2014and consequential train the trainer program\u2014holding and supporting internal staff to practically implement significant shifts for teams\u2014addressed this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the four-year process there was a continuous dialogue and a reporting of the choices we all made towards meeting these objectives. Such articulation was key to the success of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1072\" height=\"624\" class=\"wp-image-15670\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap.png 1072w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-1024x596.png 1024w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-610x355.png 610w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-65x38.png 65w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-220x128.png 220w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-172x100.png 172w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-358x208.png 358w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-687x400.png 687w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-773x450.png 773w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-876x510.png 876w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-600x349.png 600w, https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gap-100x58.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1072px) 100vw, 1072px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:9px\">Gap between what was measured and organization&#8217;s strategic plan (using Integral Theory quadrants) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Partnership and participation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the business and organisational worlds there is a plethora of evidence demonstrating staff-driven programs, sourcing innovation widely and communities of practices, to name only a few, are highly desirable keys for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such partnership and participation is answering the question of inclusiveness, particularly around \u201c<em>whose knowledge counts?<\/em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the South Australia health example the staff became and were full co-collaborators, action designers and engagers. That\u2019s a lot of leaders and it helped demonstrate the power of \u201c<em>multiple ways of knowing-for-action<\/em>\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staff hosted and facilitated workshops. They engaged with and redesigned content, presented on progress internally and externally and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Contribution to action research theory\/practice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a journal-specific quality choice point. A paper on the Health consultancy work may demonstrate a contribution to theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Methods and process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to know what is working and the obvious source for this is the people who are working with tools and practices. The health example assisted people to see problems in new ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impacts, what participants said about using these tools and how this informed further interventions (by us and them) include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201c<em>I have worked with these Leaders for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s been amazing how the frameworks have opened up new conversations about culturally safe services.<\/em>\u201d<\/li><li>\u201c<em>The tools have opened up different thinking and conversations at a leadership level. We\u2019ve all had rich individual learning which will stay with us for our whole career.&nbsp;&nbsp;The challenge for us now is how we scale this.<\/em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The methods and processes for intervention co-evolve and were redesigned through participant experiences. That\u2019s to say these interventions were both action and research\/measurement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Actionability&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Intervening in large-scale systems change means that we are interested in enduring impact, in helping to catalyze future shifts as well as those that are currently being worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In organizations, privacy can make documenting new ideas to guide action difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way around this is awards that publicly recognize search work. Again, in the health example, it won government awards. Often, we were all invited to present the program publicly and the evidence that validated its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Reflexivity&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We are all learning. Taking \u201c<em>a personal, involved and self-critical stance<\/em>\u201d as opposed to being just a source of&nbsp;<em>expert<\/em>knowledge is powerful. This is a practice that is more in line with today\u2019s complex, volatile, adaptive and uncertain problems. It opens dialogues that may otherwise be unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through such reflexivity, at Country Health South Australia, we saw the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>integration of personal and reflexive insights;<\/li><li>the expansion of interpersonal and relational team interactions that overcame traditionally stuck problems; and,<\/li><li>the useful application of impersonal knowledge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants grew and were empowered, we co-created and scaffolded each other\u2019s understanding, and the knowledge generated was applied to both measure and inform objective and subjective organizational key performance indicators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Significance&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This program was highly significant for staff, ourselves, the organization and, through that, many of the people using its health services. Its impacts outlived our consultancy and the organization (when a newly elected government split the service into 7 units the generated learning and impacts continued to be utilized).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management, staff and ourselves reported and observed impacts including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Culture shifts. For example, from having to be right with instant solutions to latitude for understanding. People could now take the time to inquire from broader perspectives The previous norm was they felt they had to have the answers.&nbsp;<\/li><li>There was evidence of new conversations about culturally safe services. This was well outside of the individual\u2019s expectations based on years of experience.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As one participant and manager put it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201c<em>We may solve the problems we thought were unsolvable<\/em>\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/be-benevolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rainbow-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rainbow significance\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom line \/ conclusions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Action Research Journal&#8217;s seven quality choice points are useful beyond a research context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use them and explore where your programs, team interventions and\/or personal work can be enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Links and credits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a repost.
