Strategy-Aligned Research to Accelerate Dementia Prevention and Care

Now Available On Demand

>> Click for more details

Strategy-Aligned Research (SAR) is an approach to aligning and accelerating the research efforts of many different organizations to achieve greater progress on social impact that the researchers and research funders are seeking to have.   SAR was pioneered in Engineering Research Centers funded in the U.S. by the National Science Foundation, but the approach is being adopted to align and improve the impact of social science research related to reducing gender-based violence and family adversity in Canada and other topics.

This webinar will introduce how SAR is aligning research findings related to strategies for ADRD prevention and caregiving.  The focus is on non-pharma interventions which often don't get the level of funding that goes into pharma-centered research.

The accelerating increase in people living with dementia is rapidly outstripping the capabilities of most regions to properly care for them.  Fortunately, there are ways that economically scalable technologies can help us better address this extraordinary challenge.  This webinar will share encouraging ways that AI technology can help with earlier and more economical detection of Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of dementia.   With earlier detection, many interventions—both medications and non-pharma interventions—can have a greater success in extending the time when a person can enjoy life with fewer of the debilitating symptoms that grow worse as the disease progresses.  The webinar will also share two examples of promising high-impact, low-cost strategies that can significantly enhance the care of people living with dementia in both in-home and congregate living settings.

Improve Collective Impact - Keys to Engagement, Alignment, and Results

Now On Demand

>> Click for more details

It is increasingly clear that most of the complex challenges faced by states and communities cannot be solved with isolated programs or policies. The concept of Collective Impact makes sense, and many coalitions have embraced the concept. But it is easier said than done. Most of the practices, tools, funding models, and training that people and organizations use are based on traditional approaches to working in silos--seeking funding and credit for your individual organization or program.

For the past several years, InsightFormation has been a leader in advancing techniques, tools, and approaches that are designed to improve the development of collaborative strategies and community teamwork. This webinar shares some of those key practices and how cross-sector coalitions can adopt these practices to make collective impact a reality.

The Reforming the Family Justice System coalition in Alberta and the Access to Justice coalition in British Columbia both are focusing on leveraging brain science to bring about trauma-informed system changes in their provinces. The pre-launch program provided training and coaching about powerful collective impact techniques and approaches to strategy management, and it engaged the participants in refining a strategy map template and building the open-source, wiki-based ARRCC.

Participants will learn about the ARRCC, the wiki-based resource sharing tool, and strategy map template that was developed during the program that Jane and Diane participated in. Participants will learn how to access the free, open-source ARRCC and about a new 6-month group coaching program to accelerate their ACEs and Resilience work.

Speakers: Bill Barberg, Jane Morley and Diana Lowe

The Peril

Due to Covid-19, millions are behind in rent or mortgage payments. Cities, and rural areas, are filled with people under DEEP financial stress. There is a minimal cushion, but dire consequences. Landlords too are in difficult times, especially small-scale property owners who purchased houses as investment properties. Unable to collect rent, their inability to make mortgage payments places them at risk of foreclosure. Meanwhile, financial institutions fear loans will default resulting in them holding countless properties no one can afford to live in.

The Urgency

Community leaders can’t spend months and years talking, responding correctly NOW, is paramount. Successful communities will have acted boldly by rapidly implementing sound plans & policies to minimize the damage of what is being called the "COVID-19 Housing Apocalypse".

The Solution

Five Elements of a Rapid Response for Communities: After spending months scanning the globe to find promising innovations to support increases in naturally affordable housing, the team working on the virtual summit identified five strategies that communities could embrace to greatly reduce the damage of navigating forward through the crisis.

System Thinking + Strategy Management = Sustainable Solutions - May. 2020

Complex issues like housing insecurity, chronic diseases, addiction, or ACEs are not solved with simple solutions. These “wicked problems” involve such a mix of contributing factors that a strategy to address them needs to address many things in parallel over an extended period of time.

This webinar shares some of the powerful techniques of system thinking and strategy management that can help multi-sector coalitions be more effective in addressing these issues. Many established practices have focused on selecting, implementing, and evaluating isolated interventions. A different set of techniques and tools are better suited for developing and managing large collective impact efforts that require many mutually reinforcing activities over an extended period of time to achieve meaningful success.

These techniques help align, integrate, and enhance existing efforts and help harness existing resources that are often underutilized.

Five Mistakes Coalitions Can Fix to Maximize Their Drug Disposal Campaigns - Jan. 2020

Most coalitions working to end the opioid crisis have taken some steps to launch or expand prescription drug take-back and disposal efforts. This is good—but most communities are making five significant mistakes that greatly reduce the impact of this important strategy. Given that one of the most important contributors to the opioid crisis is the widespread availability of highly addictive pills that are no longer needed for the prescribed use, improving and expanding drug take-back and disposal strategies should be a priority for coalitions everywhere. This free webinar provides practical advice on how to do that.
