LO in Healthcare LO16622

I'm about to speak to a group of senior managers in a large international
healthcare company and I'm interested in finding some practical examples
of LO principles being applied in healthcare organisations.

Are they, because of their knowledge based work, fertile ground? Or,
because of actual or perceived hierarchies, difficult to get the flow
going?

I wonder if anyone has examples of LO delivering clear benefits for such
organisations? It'd be nice to give them some motivational stories.

It perhaps also raises the question of whether all this stuff is easier
to introduce in highly knowledge based organisations. My own suspicion,
and to a degree my experience, is that the effect can be more dramatic
and quicker in more traditional manufacturing environments where people
have always been paid to use their hands rather than their heads.

Thanks,

Paul Foley
