The Organizationally Intelligent Leader: Upping Our Game with EBP Implementation and Justice Reform

SESSION INFO

Wednesday, August 25, 2021
1:30PM - 3:00PM
Session Type: Workshop

The justice system is facing large-scale and pervasive change with both implementation and reform initiatives. It is time to think beyond the limits of traditional ‘change management’ approaches that simply have not worked. These traditional approaches to change in the justice system have been weak and devoid of the complex human and organizational elements to change. Consequently, there are measured data showing impotent and disappointing results of these methods. This presentation will compare traditional approaches to more scientific and potent ones; and will offer more compelling frameworks for authentic change in the justice system. Blunt, honest, and often funny, the presenter will illuminate a provocative, disruptive, and enticing opportunity to reimagine the way we lead and implement change in probation, parole, and pretrial supervision.
