Dr Michael Page
‘QI as institutional entrepreneurship: how to implement change in the face of resistance’
What I noticed when working with the Chief Registrars (and later produced a research poster about) was the nature of the opposition they faced and the sophisticated range of techniques they deployed in order to deal with resistance. I conceptualised their activity as ‘institutional entrepreneurship’ which, analytically, helped to explain and contextualise a lot of the resistance they faced, without demonising the resistors, as well as conceptualising their ways of working in order to keep going with their change agency. The result was quite a coherent (in my humble opinion!) account of why and how trainees encounter resistance when implementing QI, and the types of action they can take in order to make change happen.
