THEPIP HELPS NHS TRUST DELIVER ITS OBJECTIVES
The Client
A community and mental health Trust with more than five thousand staff realised it was heading for a deficit of more than one million pounds. The Trust's HR Director decided to run a suite of performance improvement programme modules into the organisation to engage the body of senior, middle and frontline managers in doing all that they could to address this deficit and other cultural and motivational problems that were clearly present.

Results
After six months participants who had completed the programme were asked to evaluate their contribution. In terms of the value of the results they had managed to deliver as a result of participating in the programme. Less than one hundred managers returned a total figure greater than six hundred thousand pounds. To ensure that they were not over stating what was achieved we asked them to come to a reasonable estimate of the value of the results they had delivered and divide that by two and divide that by two again. At the end of the financial year in which the Trust was expecting an overspend, they in fact achieved an under spend of two and a half million pounds!
