Creative Lighthouse is a health and social care consultancy, with a focus on workforce planning and transformation, safe staffing and cost improvement.
The health care sector faces a conflict between safe staffing and the government directive to be cost efficient. In a time of clinical staff shortages, increasing demand for services and financial austerity there is a need for a consistent approach to workforce analysis, benchmarking and planning across the health and social care sector to enable informed decision making across finance, HR and nursing management. Creative Lighthouse had a prototype of an idea and approached Blueberry to see if we could make the idea a reality.
The company wanted to create a workforce planning and benchmarking solution in response to frustration at the focus on financially led decisions in health and social care management that did not consider the safety and care of patients or staff. They set out to build a platform that would allow all management groups in the health and social care sector to collaborate on safe staffing, cross-boundary workforce planning, benefits realisation and financial governance.
Creative Lighthouse identified Blueberry through a combination of recommendation and a number of meetings to make sure the team really understood what they wanted to achieve, and Blueberry provided the client with a dedicated project manager and development team to deliver the end product they were looking for.
