Day 3: Workshop - Community Coordination & Implementation Action Planning
8:00 AM: Breakfast, Networking

9:00 AM: Workshop

Knowing what programs to establish does not ensure implementation success. You need an approach that works and accounts for all who must be engaged to be there with you all the way!

Strong, coordinated and sustained local capacity is the single most critical aspect for success with re-entry initiatives. Local efforts at education, training, planning, and implementation need significant guidance and support in order to build the capacity for system reform. How should your case management staff roles and functions adapt to account for offenders re-entering the community? What is your "go-to-market" plan? We will review all of these so you have and implement a plan that is both integrated and takes into account all the relevant stakeholders. Working from a template, participants will complete their very own draft of a comprehensive offender reform and reintegration implementation plan adapted to the specific challenges they face at home. This component removes the guesswork usually associated with creating the plan after you return to your office. At the end of the course, attendees will have created a draft implementation plan customized to their local needs.

9:00 AM: Workshop: Managing Change for Successful Organizational Transformation

12:00 - 1:00: Lunch

Organizations must anticipate and learn to adapt to change. Introducing and getting staff and stakeholders to “buy into” something new is a difficult art to master! This workshop will focus on what the dynamics of change look like and the factors needed to achieve change quickly and efficiently.

The session will identify components of organizational structure that can affect the success or failure of seemingly "wanted" change initiatives, such as transitions into community.
