Effective Teamwork

• Working with Data• Research from Kent McIntosh

• Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPSII)

Four Keys to Effective Meetings1. Organization

• Team roles, predictable meeting process, meeting minute format• Separate agenda items into three types

– Review status of previous problems– Administrative logistics– Problem Solving to determine if there are new problems

2. Data

• Access to the right information at right time in right format

3. Skills• Problems defined with precision including a goal• Comprehensive solution plans that “fit”• Evaluation measures defined & monitored• For each data source, define

– Implementation fidelity plan for each problem– Impact of solutions for each problem

• For both fidelity and impact define– the data that will be gathered – how/when those data are gathered & reported

4. Adapt Solutions in response to data 13
