I wonder how many NHS Trusts look into the most commonly asked interview questions, particularly for mid-level managers? Interviews are a test to see whether a candidate has the skills for the job. Interview questions are written by the hiring manager.
So...
So...
If we looked at the most common questions asked (excluding all generic questions) would we start to see a trend? Would we see that we are asking all mid-level managers how they deal with a type of problem that is so wide spread, perhaps it requires further investigation?
My question or thought is, if we looked at interview question themes would it show us that there is actually a complex adaptive problem in the trust we are asking individuals to bandaid solve in silo's? Instead of potentially coordinating to truly solve the problem.
After writing all of this out and reflecting on it further perhaps interview questions aren't the most effective tool. However, I'd be really intrigued to know what people's thoughts are.
Even if one department does solve the problem it is likely hard to replicate else where.

And the learning isn't always easily shared. Does anyone know of an NHS Trust that has effectively implemented open source forums or a smart knowledge sharing platform?
I never tweet so I am likely to get no answers but if anyone has any thoughts. I'm interested.
