The lecture, entitled The Myth of Rationality , Organisational Change and Innovation in Health Care will take place at the Graduate Business School, Bede Island, Leicester. It is free and open to the public. Professor Fitzgerald is Professor of Organisational Change and is based in the Department of Human Resource Management, within the Faculty of Business and Law, at the University's Leicester City Campus. The lecture will explore some inter-linked themes concerning the reality of organisational change and innovation. Organisations need to manage this uncertainty.
Research demonstrates that innovation is a non-linear, social and political process.
This has critical implications for Evidence Based Medicine. I plan to address generic issues in managing organisational change and innovation and hope the lecture will be of interest to those involved in change management and particularly those in health care or other professionalised organisations. A buffet and drinks will be served at 6.30pm after the lecture.
