Laying strong foundations
1 Workshop series two
Fixing system interoperability across your trust
Broken data flows quietly cost trusts time, clarity and confidence. This practical workshop explores how to map interoperability across MIS, finance, HR and safeguarding systems, and identify where data breaks down. The session will share how to spot friction points, prioritise realistic fixes and strengthen foundations without overcomplicating architecture. Trust leaders from different-sized trusts will share what worked, what didn’t, and how they moved from fragmented systems to more connected practice.
