Recommendations:

  • Partner with the Office of Organizational Development to identify existing trainings (e.g., data-driven analysis) that support collaborative problem solving and to incorporate adult learning models for increased engagement and retention.
  • Provide leadership training to coaches and facilitators to include meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, vision building, and team leading.
  • Focus training on application-based learning. Use actual cases and data.
