Benefits of change and innovation
1.1 Innovation and change can be beneficial to any organisation. Innovation is intentionally introducing new ideas or doing something in a different way. New ideas lead to new ways to work.

Innovation is closely connected to change.
People have a tendency to resist change and see it as a negative. Change can be an opportunity for workers to gain experience in areas they may otherwise not.

Foundation trusts are not for profit and provide free health services based on the founding NHS principles, doing this they are hoping to be more responsive, accountable and more effective leading to improved quality of service and make it a better place to work.
Another large change in my organisation was agenda for change this was a change to the pay system and was designed to promote fair pay for non-medical staff with the idea of 'equal pay for work of equal value' and also this would provide better links between pay and career progression.
