OD in the NHS 2025: meet our exhibitors

Mindset Practice’s mission is to enable everybody to be their best, most authentic self, every day by showing up consistently from a mindset of growth rather than survival.

We are excited to share our innovative, award-winning NHS solutions at OD in the NHS 2025. Our evidence-based development enables healthcare staff to be their best self at work more often and to go home knowing they have done their best, and have something more to give when they get home.

Working with Norfolk and Waveney ICB, we have created development supported by a mobile-app and in-house delivery to underpin a compassion revolution across the system. Mindset for Growth and Care provides targeted psychometric feedback, experiential learning and practical tools to enable self-compassion, compassion towards others, inclusion, resilience, wellbeing, and collaboration. Building psychological safety starts at an individual level – a mindset of growth and care provides the foundation for enabling a restorative and just culture. 

Now in their 21st year, Affina Organisation Development (AOD) is recognised as the national specialist in team-based working across health and care. That’s why we're delighted to see team working so clearly championed at this year’s Do OD conference.

Our evidence-based tools and programmes, built from Professor Michael West’s inspirational research, range from a simple team assessment to award-winning team development. The Affina Team Journey also forms part of an NHS MSc leadership programme.

We work in partnership with HR/OD specialists, people directors and leadership teams, and support thousands of teams across all care settings, including acute, primary care, social care and mental health.

Starting with your objectives and vision, our network of expert facilitators help you to choose the best strategic option for improving performance, and identify measures to demonstrate impact at team, organisation or system level.

Let’s talk about how to bring out the best in your teams!

Hello, we're Kaleidoscope, an award-winning not-for-profit consultancy - we specialise in bringing people, teams and organisations together to improve health and care. And we’re on a mission to develop a world of work which is kinder, more connected, more joyful, and therefore more effective.

Our approach is based on a deep understanding of change that really works. We specifically focus on how three factors are shaped for effective development:

• Strategic – clarifying purpose and direction.
• Operational – organising the work and how it’s done.
• Cultural – building environments where people thrive.

From vision and values development to leadership programmes, high-performing teams to culture change, we'll meet you where you are to create solutions that will work in your context. And we won’t promise you 'transformation tomorrow' but we will enable 'change today'.

So, please come say hello. We promise a warm welcome, a passion for organisational development and stories of change that works.

TED is a powerful team diagnostic and toolkit with resources that are designed to enable both OD Practicioners and team leaders to have structured and meaningful conversations with their team. 

The tool enables team leaders to explore what it feels like to work in their team and helps identify improvements that would make the biggest difference to team performance and engagement. 

TED is designed to empower; providing team members with a voice whilst simultaneously building the capability of team leaders to have the conversations that matter the most to their team.

Developed internally by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals in 2016, it was initially designed in response to the NHS Staff Survey results and increasing requests of the Organisational Development Team to support individual team development interventions.

By enabling and building the capability of team leaders to take ownership of their own team development, it has allowed OD to focus on more holistic, strategic-level improvements to deliver whole organisation performance enhancements. 

The NHS Employers Do OD team supports OD colleagues in the NHS to be better OD practitioners and make a positive impact on patient care. We ensure the ambitions and actions of the NHS People Plan are at the heart of our work. We take a systems approach to our work, clearly demonstrating our values of curiosity, creativity, courage and co-production in all we do. 

We're looking forward to meeting colleagues at the conference and hearing about your organisation's OD practice, so please do say hello on the day.
