Suzanne, when organisations are resistant to change and adopt a culture of inertia, I think all you can do is be persistant and strategic in your approach...I think (?) someone recently raised the Canadian Model of Human Occupational as an effective analytic tool when attempting to understand just where in orgs the blockages to the free flow of information, and therefore service delivery, are taking place
for example, do you have allocated sessions for continuing professional development? perhaps the service Manager might consider a weekly Quality meeting where the staff bring examples of case studies or discuss some of the relevent Literature in your area of Practice. That might provide you with an opportunity to bring in some of the stuff that supports your frame of reference eg Motor Control Theory..whatever...Perhaps there's also the possiblity for some ongoing research into the topic...nothing like that these days to draw some kudos down on your place of work...you might be able to develop a simple (occupationally- based of course) assessment tool! Quality Assurance and CQI can be very boring...but it can also be a great weapon to use against apathetic management...as they often have a commitment to implementing processes that at least make it look like their making things "better"....
