Establishing new health services or educational programs can involve many complex political, social,
economic, educational and organisational considerations. The process requires intricate negotiations
with multiple stakeholders and can be riddled with obstacles and problems.
A novel conceptual framework for successfully navigating the establishment gauntlet has been
developed through research on successfully establishing new medical schools in medically underserved areas. The Eight Cs framework (8CF) is based on institutional entrepreneurship theory and
critical realist multiple case study research spanning three continents. It is a multidimensional,
interleaved framework that takes a system-wide view to starting up a new educational/health initiative.
The 8CF describes that new ventures can be successfully set up when ‘Catalysts act within their
Contexts to undertake various tasks of Conducing, Convincing, Collecting, and Connecting in order to
produce desired Consequences and overcome Challenges’.
This roundtable will use the elements of the 8CF to allow participants to evaluate their own plans
or processes to start up a new education or health undertaking. It will allow them to strategically
identify innovations, new solutions, gaps or potential problems for their project. Academics, clinicians,
administrators, politicians and community members who are involved in the planning or set up of a
new educational or health initiative should participate.
