Cross Sector Collaboration solutions ???

Results from today’s session Participants will: • Reflect on their own collaborative leadership in your work • Explore and apply a results based framework for collaborative leadership • Apply a leadership tool(s) for addressing differences, disagreements and conflict and leading change • Make an action commitment related to how the tool might be used in current work
Getting to Results… Moving from Talk to Action Results Based Accountability Framework
Idea….discussion…action Think of a situation where you were working together to advance a project, policy or intervention • What were some of the challenges? • How did you prioritize your strategies? • How did you decide on the actions?
Challenges in Collaborative work.. • No clear result that everyone agrees upon • No real sense/measure of whether you are making progress • No clear understanding of the factors impacting the issue (moving beyond individual assumptions) • Prioritization?
A Framework for Collaborative Decision Making
[If we are serious about taming bureaucracies … our best strategy will be a clear and unrelenting focus on results. Lisbeth B. Schorr, 1999 Author, Common Purpose: Strengthening Families and Neighborhoods to Rebuild America
United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona Population Results and Indicators COMMUNITY ACTION JOB DESCRIPTION Develop expertise in results accountability model of community change and be able to lead others in a results-based process of community change Results-Based Accountability Assistant, United Way Greater Lehigh Valley
Results Based Accountability reaps rewards in Hawkes Bay “Because this allows people to look at the bigger picture, they go beyond their own organisation’s viewpoint to see their community’s needs more objectively…”
HRSA, USDHHS Community Health Centers % of patients’ newborns with low birth weight % of hypertensive patients with blood pressure < 140/90 (under control) % of diabetic patients HbA1c < 9% (under control)
A Framework for • Collaborative Decision Making • Common language • 2. Starting with ends and • working backwards to means • (transparently and with data)
The well-being ofWhole Populations The well-being ofClient Populations Results Based Accountability is made up of two parts Population Accountability Communities – Cities – Counties – States - Nations Performance Accountability Programs – Agencies – and Service Systems
DISTINCTIONS POPULATION RESULT (or OUTCOME) A condition of well-being for children, adults, families or communities. POPULATION Accountability Babies born healthy, Children succeeding in school, Safe communities, Clean environment INDICATOR A measure which helps quantify the achievement of a result. Rate of Low Birth Weight babies, Rate of high school graduation, Crime rate, Air quality index PERFORMANCE MEASURE PERFORMANCE Accountability A measure of how well a program, agency or service system is working. 1. How much did we do? 2. How well did we do it? 3. Is anyone better off? Three types: = Customer Results
STARTING WITH ENDS AND WORKING BACKWARDS TO MEANS (Data-driven and transparent decision making)
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. Winston Churchill
Mental Models: Deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations, or even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action. Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline
Some Noteworthy Mental Models • "Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" H.M. Warner, Warner Brothers, 1927. • "This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us." Western Union internal memo, 1876. • "We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962. • "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977
Ends-to-Means, Data-Driven, and Transparent Start at the End Data How are we doing? Data Why? Who can help? Data What are our options? Work Backwards to Means What do we propose to do?
Results Based Leadership Group Exercise • Topic: Diabetes in Country X • Graph… • In your group, walk through the “Turn the Curve Exercise”, consider: • 5Why’s (exploring story behind curve) • Strategies (feasibility, leverage) • Actions (what will your team do?) • Alignment of Why, Strategy and Actions
Performance Measures • How much did we do? • Who are our customers and what services do we provide to them? 2. How well did we do it? How well do we provide those services? • Is anyone better off? • What is the desired impact of those services for/on our customers (a.k.a. “customer results”)?
Break- 15 minutes NEXT: DEALING WITH CONFLICT
Dealing with Conflict Exploring and Addressing Differences, Disagreements and Conflicts
Check-In • Turn to the person next to you- “Learning Partner” • With “learning partner” for the next 2-3 minutes each: Discuss: One part of your work in Health/Health care you really enjoy?
Reflection We all have different relationships with conflict. Some seek it out, some hold it at arms lengths and others avoid it at all costs. • Which do you do? • What conflicts or difference (if any) have you faced, experienced or avoided within the context of your international health work? • What was it, who was involved, how did it feel? Jot down your thoughts. 5 minutes
Skill Development • Using the Circle of Conflict, determine the type of conflict • With your learning partner, share the conflict? 5 min • Give peer consultation: What strategies being used? What strategies might be used to address the conflict or difference? 10 min • What are your insights about possible approaches? 5 min • What might you do based on insights? 5 min

Understanding and Leading Change Tools to Help Facilitate Change
Learning Objectives • Provide a framework for leading change in the global health context. • Eight Steps for Driving Change…what does it take? John Kotter(Harvard Business School)- Leading Change • Assist health leaders in understanding where they are in the process of identifying and addressing disparities. • Provide additional tools/resources for transforming organizations/”community” and advancing work on disparities.
“Adventure is misery in hindsight.”
Reflection We have all tried ways to do things differently…to change the way things are done. • Take a moment to think about a past effort you’ve worked on that required things to change • What were the barriers to change?
Why is change so difficult? • Maintaining the Status quo (overcome inertia) • “Zero Sum Game” mindset • Forced to confront Adaptive Challenges (in addition to Technical Challenges)
Leadership Challenges (Heifetz) • Examples: • reports, blueprints… • Global Health issues (tobacco, NCD’s,….) (more Adaptive Challenges) Technical Challenges Solved by existing knowledge, skill and/or technologies Adaptive Challenges Involves challenging existing models of operation Examining deeply held (often unconscious) values and beliefs Explore new ways of thinking/acting
Adaptive Challenges Does making progress on this problem require changes in people’s values, beliefs, attitudes and behavior? Whose values, beliefs, attitudes or behaviors must change in order to move forward? What shifts in priorities, resources and power are necessary? What sacrifices would have to be made and by whom?
