Systems Transformation:
Transformative work requires transformative teams. A high-functioning team can help you achieve your desired outcomes by bringing the right people to the table, creating sustainable systems, clearly defining roles, and developing a realistic plan with shared ownership of the work. This is how you move from “hoping it happens” to “making it happen.”
Together, we will improve your practices, policies, and culture to make your organization more efficient, adaptive, and resilient. This work may involve:
-
that includes those impacted by your work
-

-
to align strategic priorities and leverage diverse expertise, resources, and perspectives

and a system for continuous quality improvement

posed by changing realities and ensuring that solutions respond to your social and political environment

Communities of Practice
One of my favorite formats for providing training and technical assistance is the Community of Practice (CoP). CoPs create space for teams of professionals to work toward a common goal, share knowledge, and build skills in a collaborative learning environment. This approach fosters growth, promotes cross-sector partnerships, and encourages problem-solving.
What does this look like?
-
teams meet regularly—either in person or virtually—across 4-6 sessions
-
both informal and structured activities, with small and large group discussions
-
in goal setting, innovative thinking, and problem-solving to reimagine systems supporting young people
-
between sessions, reflecting on progress and real-life challenges during meetings
What are the benefits?
-
for focus and direction
-
to facilitators and peers, maintaining momentum
-
and support from other members
-
in practices and outcomes
-
of strategies, insights, and resources that benefit the young people served
-
and reduced professional isolation
