Leadership and management programme
laMP Overview
The Leadership and Management Programme (LAMP) is an integrated suite of four development programmes and activities to build long-term leadership and management skill within the New Zealand health sector.
LAMP is an initiative of District Health Boards New Zealand (DHBNZ) delivered by LAMP Providers. It is designed for people across the whole health sector. It is based on the philosophy of action learning; people learn best about leadership and management by doing real jobs and addressing real issues.
LAMP has the following broad goals:
- Develop the leadership and management skills of individual participants
- Deliver measurable return on investment to the sector through projects and improved skills
- Provide an opportunity for personal development for individuals
- Build national and international relationships and networks to advance the health and well-being of New Zealanders
It comprises the following programmes:
Top Management Programme (TMP) is a 12 month programme for senior managers including those whose next career step is to Chief Executive Level.
Management Action Programme (MAP) is a 9 month programme for existing District Health Board, Ministry of Health and other health sector managers who wish to enhance and consolidate their performance in their current role.
Health Systems and Management for Clinicians (HSMC) is a 6 month programme for clinical leaders in leadership roles that may include a management component.
Primary Health Leadership and Management is a 5 month programme designed for people with an advisory or leadership role, board members or those with a good deal of experience who are looking to invigorate their leadership skills and build networks.
Special Initiatives
LAMP will include development activities to respond to special initiatives in the sector as these emerge, such as assisting Primary Health Organisations to develop.
LAMP represents a long-term commitment to building capability across the health sector and may add other programmes and activities as the sector evolves.
DHB Chief Executives have identified leadership development as a priority for the health sector. They see the LAMP suite of programmes as a key vehicle in developing the sector's leadership capability. |
