Abstract

PurposeThis paper seeks to describe the exploration of human resource issues in one large‐scale program of innovation in healthcare. It is informed by established theories of management in the workplace and a multi‐level model of diffusion of innovations.Design/methodology/approachA realist approach was used based on interviews, ethnographic observation and documentary analysis.FindingsFive main approaches (“theories of change”) were adopted to develop and support the workforce: recruiting staff with skills in service transformation; redesigning roles and creating new roles; enhancing workforce planning; linking staff development to service needs; creating opportunities for shared learning and knowledge exchange. Each had differing levels of success.Practical implicationsThe paper includes HR implications for the modernisation of a complex service organisation.Originality/valueThis is the first time a realist evaluation of a complex health modernisation initiative has been undertaken.
