Leadership
and Management Program

Background
|
|
| |
|
|
With
the creation in October 2000 of the INCLEN Trust,
an exciting third phase begins in INCLEN's development.
Its new mission is: RESEARCH AND TRAINING FOR
IMPROVING EQUITY, EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY IN
HEALTH CARE. The new Board of Trustees (BOT)
of the INCLEN Trust has identified four strategic
program directions: regionalization; leadership
development (including management competencies);
research and capacity building; and partnership
building and networking. Since effective leadership
is relevant to the other three program directions,
the BOT at its March 2001 meeting launched a
"Leadership & Management Program"
(LAMP), to be managed by a core planning group. |

Goal
|
|
| |
The LAMP is
designed to reinforce the values and goals
of the "new INCLEN", and therefore
has the following special features:
- the inclusion
of cross-cultural elements, to reflect INCLEN's
regional diversity;
- the use
of strategies tailored to the realities
of participants who are mostly "part-time"
professional peers;
- an emphasis
on partnership development with other "like-minded"
organizations.

Participants
|
|
| |
Priority
will be given to current INCLEN leaders, particularly
regional presidents/coordinators, directors
of clinical epidemiology units (CEU's), and
principal investigators. There also may be opportunities
for partnerships with other organizations who
share similar training objectives. In addition,
a special future initiative will explore opportunities
for "emerging" leaders or "prime
movers"--this will likely take the form
of a fellowship program. |

Methods
and Strategies
|
|
| |
The
LMP will feature the following methods and strategies:
- A "learning
while doing" problem-based approach--this
will include an analysis of the participant's
own professional situation and the specific
elements which he or she would like to change.
In addition, relevant case studies will
be used; most of these will be derived directly
from the INCLEN experience.
- The use
of modules to be available in both print
and electronic forms. Each module will include:
a brief overview, a concept paper (providing
a more detailed description), a variety
of "tools", and case studies.
- A variety
of events, such as inter-active workshops.
These events will complement the learning
processes already underway through individualized
study and mentoring.
- Senior mentors
will be recruited to work with program participants;
the mentors will provide encouragement,
advice and guidance to LAMP participants.
