speech abstract
Chronic disease trends and costs demand whole system change.
New Zealand is in a unique situation where far reaching change can be
designed and implemented at a district level. Bottom up whole-
system-change is achievable but requires new skills, styles of
leadership and careful construction. Framing the task and making
the right first moves are critical to success. The challenge of
'getting going' in whole system change is discussed and put into
context with local examples and 'how to' tips
