The Story of CQC-Prep™: A Legacy of Improvement Meets Care Sector Needs



The Story of CQC-Prep™: A Legacy of Improvement Meets Care Sector Needs


CQC-Prep™ represents a powerful new tool for care providers, but it's built on solid ground. This platform brings together decades of research, proven leadership practices, and a commitment to excellence – a combination designed to address the specific challenges faced by those dedicated to quality care.


The Foundations of Excellence: The Origins of the iAbacus


At the heart of CQC-Prep™ is iAbacus, a methodology for self-evaluation, strategic improvement, and success planning. iAbacus emerged from over five decades of work by John Pearce, an experienced leader and researcher with a successful track record in education, public service, business, and the charity sector.


Across various fields, John consistently observed a gap between aspirations and action. Organisations struggled to translate good intentions into measurable results, often relying on intuition rather than evidence-based planning. iAbacus, with its emphasis on structured analysis, concrete action plans, and progress tracking, was created to bridge that gap.


Tailored for Care: The Creation of CQC-Prep™


Recognising the unique demands of the care sector, John joined forces with Daniel O'Brien, a skilled technology expert focused on intuitive software design. Together, they translated the proven success of iAbacus into CQC-Prep™. This online platform aligns directly with CQC requirements, streamlining the process of self-assessment while promoting a culture of ongoing improvement.


The CQC-Prep™ Promise: Going Beyond Compliance
