The Transformation Networking team officially took shape and began working on September 22, 2008. The members of the team include Neale Bennet, Bernadette Chevalier, Andy Dansie, John McCarthy, Odi Okadigbo and Donna Scotten.
This is a prototype: the purpose and role of the team and its members will shift and emerge through learning.
Overall, the purpose of the team is to provide leadership for the organization to create the conditions for transformative action leading to the achievement of Our Promise, through:
• Supporting networks and teams
• Enabling structures and processes
• Building capacity of individuals and networks
• Coaching and supporting leaders
• Supporting the identification and measurement of indicators related to transformative strategies
In the short term, the Team has four areas of focus:
1. Bring new energy to Our Promise.
Throughout CDHA, there is a sense that over the past few months some of the momentum of Our Promise has been lost. The setting up of the Transformation Networking Team is being seen as a good sign of new energy and life, and of the commitment of needed resources to the work.
2. Turn talk into action.
Some at CDHA are waiting to see significant signs of progress with Our Promise before committing to it. Others are engaged and committed but struggling with how to turn the vision into reality through changes to programs and services. The Transformation Networking Team will help to facilitate this shift, through capacity building and supporting existing and emerging networks.
3. Engage new people.
For Our Promise to be successful, wide ranging networks of employees, physicians, volunteers, learners, and citizens need to be intentionally engaged in transforming the health of our community. The Team will help to support these ongoing and emerging efforts.
4. Profile the work.
There is a great deal of work that is going on which is truly transforming Capital Health. The Transformation Networking Team will help to feature that work.
