Insight Genie

Workforce intelligence revealing Overheating Spiral friction points

Insight Genie

Workforce intelligence revealing Overheating Spiral friction points.

Insight Genie provides rapid visibility into where your strategy development process is breaking down. By collecting insights from stakeholders over 1-2 weeks and analysing workforce patterns, communication flows, and decision-making bottlenecks, Insight Genie reveals the specific friction points that create the Overheating Spiral.

The Problem This Solves

You can't fix what you can't see. Most NHS organisations know their strategy development is slow and inefficient, but they don't know exactly where it's breaking down.

Without Insight Genie

  • You guess at where problems are
  • You fix symptoms, not root causes
  • You waste time on the wrong interventions
  • The Overheating Spiral continues unchecked

With Insight Genie

  • You see exactly where friction occurs
  • You can target interventions precisely
  • You measure the impact of changes
  • You break the Overheating Spiral at its source

How It Works

Insight Genie collects stakeholder insights and analyses workforce data to reveal Overheating Spiral friction points. The process is designed to be quick and focused—not "death by questionnaire":

Real-World Example:

Insight Genie played a vital role in helping Torbay and South Devon FT source, synthesise, and make sense of a wide range of insights from both staff and the public as part of the development of their new ten-year strategy to reimagine care across Torbay and South Devon. The platform enabled them to engage meaningfully with diverse perspectives across the system and draw out the underlying patterns, needs, and opportunities shaping the future of health and care in the region.

Case Study

Torbay and South Devon FT: Ten-Year Strategy Development

Insight Genie played a vital role in helping Torbay and South Devon FT source, synthesise, and make sense of a wide range of insights from both staff and the public as part of the development of their new ten-year strategy to reimagine care across Torbay and South Devon.

The Challenge

  • Need to engage diverse perspectives across the system
  • Complex qualitative data from multiple sources
  • Staff, clinicians, citizens, and community partners
  • Requirement for strategic alignment and shared vision

The Solution

Insight Genie enabled meaningful engagement with diverse perspectives, from neighbourhood teams and clinicians to citizens and community partners, and drew out the underlying patterns, needs, and opportunities shaping the future of health and care in the region.

The Results

The resulting insights were instrumental in shaping a shared vision for Torbay and South Devon as an Integrated Health Organisation (IHO): a convenor and orchestrator of a whole system of neighbourhood, community, and acute care focused on improving population health and enabling people to flourish.

Insight Genie provided not only a scalable and rigorous means of capturing complex qualitative data but also a powerful way of making sense of it in ways that supported strategic alignment, leadership engagement, and collective learning.

FAQ

Q: What data does Insight Genie collect? A: Insight Genie collects insights from stakeholders through 3 focused questions (not dozens—we avoid "death by questionnaire"). We analyse anonymised workforce activity data, communication patterns, decision-making timelines, and document creation cycles. All data is anonymised and used only for analysis.

Q: How long does it take to see results? A: Insight collection takes 1-2 weeks (stakeholders answer 3 focused questions). Reports and analysis are generated within a few days after collection completes. You'll have actionable insights within 2-3 weeks total. Ongoing monitoring is optional.

Q: Do we need to share sensitive data? A: No. Insight Genie works with anonymised, aggregated data. We don't need access to individual employee data or sensitive information.

Q: Can Insight Genie work standalone? A: Yes, Insight Genie works standalone. However, it integrates well with Dynamic Genie (for pre-session intelligence) and Meeting Genie (for ongoing monitoring).

Q: What if we don't have the right data? A: We work with you to identify what data is available and how to collect what's needed. We can start with basic metrics and expand over time.

Q: How is this different from traditional analytics? A: Traditional analytics look at outputs (documents created, meetings held). Insight Genie looks at processes (how decisions flow, where delays occur, what creates friction).
