Abstract

This chapter argues that the management of change towards integrated care requires the combination of two principle sets of processes: a step-wise progression of managerial tasks that come together to represent the core components of a change management plan (‘management’) and the ability to adapt these strategies for change in the context of the complex and multi-dimensional nature of practical reality (‘environment’). Both tasks require key individuals with the managerial skills and both have a strong relationship-building component and are inherently inter-related.
