The collaborative atmosphere of the CSD Ad Hoc meeting between the CSD Management Team & your CSD Leadership Team was a total pleasure w/a shared focus of how we might more effectively work together.
However, we all know the proof is in the outcome & (hoo-rah!) we are now seeing tangible outcomes:
*A CSC 'shared language' workshop was held so we can all be looking at the same thing when we look at successes that are being claimed re: the reorg/SDR. The atmosphere at CSD Ad Hoc continued & we were heard, included and then enlightened. (for more info-just click on comments & ask!)
*CSC Admin requested a Union Appointed CSD Member for a statewide Resource Identification Work group to create a resource page for each CSD. This will address the issues we have found in working cases from areas outside our own regions. Russell Glatt, SW from Kennewick CSD agreed to serve. (Ideas? Click on Comment)
*I was asked to join a statewide management work group to address the communications issues we identified at the Ad Hoc. The outcome will address how to shape a more effective communication process to include email & policy/process changes (more to come on this-however, I need YOUR ideas-please click on comments & tell me).
*Region 6 Administration invited our CSD Leadership Team Member Rod Sauer to attend their full management team meeting & they are working to incorporate many ideas we presented at the Ad Hoc-such as a Trends Page which will allow us to identify areas where standardized work has not been implemented. (More info? click on comments & ask!)
*Region 2 has created a Communication Improvement Team-with staff/management to work on standardized email; SharePoint & Trainings as communication tools: systemizing staff feedback processes; implementing the Trends idea; frequency/organization of staff meetings; & developing a more effective communication process.
Please share what is happening around you in regards to this collaborative mind set-I know this list is not comprehensive. If you need help on addressing your managment team regarding these ideas, please click on comment. We are the Subject Experts and Administration has demonstrated their intent to include us in this reorg to better serve clients & to make the CSD a positive place to work. (Please let us know your reality.)

I would like to see a CSC person on the resource page committee, too, as they are the ones who will use it the most.
