Positive Deviance (PD) is an approach to social change that enables
communities and organizations to discover the wisdom they already
have, and then to act on it. The premise of PD is that in every
community there are certain individuals or groups whose uncommon
practices or strategies enable them to find better solutions to
problems than neighbors and peers who have access to the same
resources. PD is led by people in the community who help identify
and spread the successful practices. Ideas for change are more
likely to be accepted and adopted when they are based on existing
local wisdom than they are when outside exports try to impose them.
This book tells the remarkable story of how a people-centered
approach to organizational and social change, accompanied by sound
scientific and technical expertise, yielded positive quality
outcomes for ordinary citizens, health care institutions and their
patients, and society in general. This work draws upon the
collective wisdom and experience of infection control
practitioners, doctors, public health authorities, nurses, social
and organizational change practitioners, health care
administrators, patients and front line workers. Additional
benefits of use of the PD process to fight infection turned out to
be improved workplace relationships, healthier and more resilient
organizational cultures, and expanded networks of people in many
fields and geographical locations who shared ideas, resources and
the inspiration of their own contributions to saving lives. "The
Positive Deviance movement is changing the landscape of how we
achieve transformation and change in systems." Peter Block, Author,
Community: The Structure of Belonging. "Inviting
Everyone....chronicles the astonishing achievements possible when
people truly work together and are aided by pioneering processes
like Positive Deviance." Nicholas Wolter, MD, CEO, Billings Clinic.
