4. Recap on our Aims
Nationally to convene and sustain the structures, systems, processes and support necessary to ensure a whole system approach to Talent Management across the NHS
TM is a key priority - responsive to system needs and ensuring TM is developed and embedded in our work
Engaging with EoE Talent Leads from each organisation
Sharing approaches and learning from each others experiences
Finding out about current and future developments in TM
Building contacts and connections across your local system
Influencing and shaping the future for the CoP network so that it is relevant and valuable for you

5. Interim Workforce Implementation Plan
Emerging workforce priorities for 2019/20:
We can make a significant difference to our ability to recruit and retain staff by making the NHS a better place to work.
Future clinical workforce, nursing and midwifery - Although there are workforce shortages in a number of professions, disciplines and regions, the biggest single challenge we currently face nationally is in the nursing and midwifery profession.
Leadership, development and talent management - If our workforce plan is to succeed we must start by making real changes to improve the leadership culture in the NHS.
Tech skills and enablement - To deliver on the vision of 21st century care set out in the Long Term Plan will not simply require ‘more of the same’ but a different skill mix, new types of roles and different ways of working.
We must look again at respective roles and responsibilities for workforce across the national bodies and their regional teams, ICSs, and local employers, to ensure we are doing the right things at the right level.

14. Mike Thompson
Chief Operating Officer
Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group

15. ADDS Programme My Journey
Mike Thompson
Chief Operating officer
Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group

16. Background NHS since 1991 – non-clinical
Acute, community, commissioning roles; performance; governance; service development. Career path not always clear!
2007 onwards various ‘Associate’ Director roles esp governance
2014 Director of Corporate Services, Bedford Hospital
PDP and CEO Support for director development
ADDS Cohort /18

17. ADDS Cohort 2 Impact Reflections on style, strengths and preferences
Shared learning and mutual support
Rapid realisation that executive director, if achievable, in a governance/corporate services role not desired
A focus on system leadership generated motivation for ‘something different’ (and not necessarily a traditional executive director role)
Mock interview feedback; visible career path
Team project!

18. Post ADDS
Negotiated a secondment to the BLMK STP/ICS as Programme Director, Primary, Community & Social Care –
Played on historical experiences, ADDS experience (and feedback on positioning) and limited non-acute experience in STP team
Extended by 1yr; successful delivery; network developed
December 18
BLMK CCG Collaborative (3 CCGs shared executive function)
Director of Corporate Governance – achievable but contrary to aim
Chief Operating Officer, Bedfordshire – unlikely and to some implausible!
Interviewed for both. Appointed COO Dec 18, commenced Feb 19

19. Summary ADDS Liberating; self confidence and belief
Focus on system leadership
New Systems
Opportunities
New types of roles
Networks, style and relationships can be as important, or more, that conventional experience.
