Leading Adaptive Change in Public Health Course Roadmap

April 29 – June 28, 2019

This 9 week online course is designed to help local health departments and their partners address the complex challenges facing the field of public health. These public health partners are exploring innovative partnerships and identifying new ways of operating within and influencing the economic and social conditions of our health system. Such work demands a new kind of leadership – a transition from our typical spheres of influence and authority to mobilizing people to tackle tough challenges and thrive.

The online course includes 2 orientation sessions, 4 live learning sessions, and 4 peer advising sessions.

Module Overview Timeline

Orientation Participants will be introduced to the course, materials, timeline and expectations

April 29 - May 3

Module 1: What is the nature of the work?

This module will explore the technical and adaptive elements of the challenges before us so that we can more effectively deploy ourselves and our resources to enable change.

May 6 – May 17

Module 2: What choices do we face about how we deploy ourselves to lead change?

This module looks at the choices we have about when to exercise leadership - and disrupt the status quo - and when to exert our authority for the sake of maintaining stability and order.

May 20 – May 31

Module 3: Who are the key stakeholders we need to engage?

Develop a rich and empathetic understanding of the stakeholders involved in our change work by exploring their values, loyalties and what they stand to lose for them.

Module 4: How can we make more progress than we have to date?

Enhance our ability to surface the competing commitments and values that may be impeding progress, while preserving our relationships.

Adaptive Leadership is a practical framework that helps individuals and organizations identify and manage consequential change in uncertain times. It increases the ability – both individually and collectively – to take on the gradual but meaningful process of change.

Since 2015, NACCHO has been a leader in helping public health, healthcare and other practitioners use the Adaptive Leadership framework for individuals and organizations seeking to adapt and succeed in challenging environments, including navigating the evolving population health landscape. Adaptive Leadership can be beneficial in managing organizational change; implementing community health improvement planning; developing leadership and workforce; strengthening community partnerships; and navigating changing political, social, and economic climates.
