TheTenDomainsoftheTransforma3onalChangeProcess
Adopt an organizational identity… that understands that to best provide for the permanency and wellbeing of children and youth that we need to work equally as hard to strengthen families and communities.
Employ evidence-based screening, assessment and treatment models… that ensure durable results, are individualized and can grow and change with the needs of children, youth and their families.
Construct an environment… in which the core work we do with children, youth and families is in their homes and community.
Engage families and support them on a pathway to permanency and wellbeing… by ensuring that they are involved, that their needs are well understood, and that they are respected and encouraged to jointly own solutions.
Develop and maintain a supportive organizational culture and climate that is “change-ready” …through the promotion of autonomy, trust, recognition, fairness, mutual support and innovation.
Integrate services… into a continuum of care that wraps support around children, youth and their families including the work of the organization across departments and business units as well as partnerships.
Foster adaptive leadership… that sets a clear vision that inspires and encourages our workforce and maintains high integrity.
Address child and family trauma… through the full organization adoption and integration of trauma informed work that ensures that we do not re-traumatize or exacerbate the symptoms of trauma.
Train, develop, and support the workforce… in evidence-based models through an effective and efficient infrastructure that embeds a strong sense of self-care and commitment to work and to families.
Work in and with communities… to achieve concrete gains in supports for children, youth and their families; reconnect youth and families to resources in the community and natural support networks.

LessonsLearnedFromtheCohorts
Most of the cohort members changed policies and practices, adjusted their organizational structure and redesigned many leadership job descriptions.
Almost all cohort members began to change their focus from working with children in residential care to preparing youths for successful reintegration.
Almost all cohort members changed the ways they support and train their staff. The focus on trauma informed care increased greatly across the board.
Many have implemented or are developing plans to work with families in their communities to help to prevent the need for out of home care.
Almost all cohort members dramatically increased their levels of family focus. Most went from talking with families to working with families.
Many have begun to develop plans to focus primarily on a more regional approach to their work so they can better serve the families of youths in care.

![Page 32: The Building Bridges Ini/ave (BBI) · 2017-09-27 · The Building Bridges Ini/ave (BBI): Advancing Partnerships. Improving Lives. Strategies for Successful Business Transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72e91d1439036770685eef/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WhatisRBSReform• California's Residentially-based Services Reform initiative seeks to transform the
state's group homes, currently providing long-term congregate care and treatment, to programs combining short-term residential stabilization and treatment with follow-along community-based services to quickly reconnect youth to their families, schools and communities.
• In 2007, with the passage of AB 1453 (Soto), support of the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), financial support from Casey Family Programs, and the creation of the RBS Reform Coalition, reform of the State's system for care and treatment of youth with challenging needs came to fruition.
• The legislation authorized selection of four counties or consortia of counties that, with private partners, will implement alternative program and funding models consistent with the framework document that defines and describes RBS. The lessons learned from these projects informed planning for statewide implementation of RBS reform presented to the Legislature in 2011.

What’sHappenedSinceRBSBegan
• Creation of Continuum of Care Reform ▫ In September 2012, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) in partnership with the County Welfare
Directors Association of California (CWDA) launched the Continuum of Care Reform (CCR) effort. Authorized through Senate Bill (SB) 1013 (Statutes of 2012), the CCR will develop recommended revisions to the state’s current rate setting system, services and programs serving children and families in the continuum of Aid to Families with Dependent Children – Foster Care (AFDC-FC) eligible placement settings.
▫ Through the CCR efforts, a detailed action plan will be developed and provided to the California Legislature by October 1, 2014. This action plan will include information on current reform improvements made administratively and recommended revisions to improve the Continuum of Care through legislative action.
• AB 403 Legislation ▫ AB 403 is a comprehensive reform effort to make sure that youth in foster care have their day-to-day physical, mental,
and emotional needs met; that they have the greatest chance to grow up in permanent and supportive homes; and that they have the opportunity to grow into self-sufficient, successful adults.
▫ AB 403 addresses these issues by giving families who provide foster care, now known as resource families, with targeted training and support so that they are better prepared to care for youth living with them. The bill also advances California’s long-standing goal to move away from the use of long-term group home care by increasing youth placement in family settings and by transforming existing group home care into places where youth who are not ready to live with families can receive short term, intensive treatment. The measure creates a timeline to implement this shift in placement options and related performance measures.

Additional Lessons Learned From Residential Transformational Cohorts and Others*
Understand what it takes to lead through change. What it takes to lead our organizations through change is very different from what it takes to maintain the status quo: it's a different job altogether with different skill sets. Motivate others. Leaders who haven't learned how to work with and motivate others to change and how to share and gain trust with others are going to be in big trouble. Get closer to service delivery. Leaders who have moved so far from service delivery that they don't know how to get durable results from the services they offer will have to get closer to service delivery soon. Learn the art of risk management. We all have to become very proficient in the art of risk‐management: every strategic decision we make these days carries considerable risk and also offers considerable reward. Exercise Restraint. We have to learn to exercise restraint and only select those few strategic change initiatives that we will be able to successfully implement and that will prepare us for the future. *Material from “Lessons from Two Years on the Road 2012” Strategic Change initiative, LLC – Tom Woll Facilitator

Additional Lessons Learned From Residential Transformational Cohorts and Others*con/nued
Prepare for the future. We should select only those strategic change initiatives that best prepare us for the future. Involve staff in “how” to change. Leaders have to select and define the strategic change initiatives for their organizations but our staff have to help us figure out "how" they can be successfully implemented. Serve Communities. It's all about serving our communities; it's not about selling services to our communities. Build bridges. We have to learn to build the bridges between clinical supports and community supports if we hope to be able to produce durable results. Teach families. We have to teach families how to get their needs met after we're gone. *Material from “Lessons from Two Years on the Road 2012” Strategic Change initiative, LLC – Tom Woll Facilitator

Additional Lessons Learned From Residential Transformational Cohorts and Others*con/nued
Prepare your staff to lead. We have to prepare for the future viability and strength of our organizations. Consider doubling the size of your Leadership Teams to allow you to invite those emerging leaders within your organization that you'll most need for to‐ morrow's success but have trouble promoting today. Review the viability of all staff. We are all increasing the levels of risk that we are asked to manage. Remember that the future of your organization may well rest in the hands of your least trained or least motivated staff member. Review all the staff members that you have been "carrying" for a few years because of services offered in years past. Keep your strategic agenda front and center. Develop five vital communications points to send to your staff each month: you want to define the discussion agenda. Keep your strategic agenda in front of your staff at all times. Know the complexities of the jobs your staff do for you every day. Consider shadowing at least two of your staff members each month and let them teach you the complexities of actually doing their job: learn to separate their complaints from their legitimate "calls for action". Redesign leadership jobs so they can all be done in 50 hours. You can't hold any leader accountable for job responsibilities that cannot be executed in 50 hours. Make sure that all leadership jobs are doable and then hold all leaders accountable for their performance in support of your mission. *Material from “Lessons from Two Years on the Road 2012” Strategic Change initiative, LLC – Tom Woll Facilitator

Additional Lessons Learned From Residential Transformational Cohorts and Others*con/nued
Shift to family‐focused services. Identify the elements of your organizational culture that exclusively support and promote child‐ centered perspectives and begin to replace each of those child‐ centered elements with family‐focused cultural elements. Train all your leaders to be job coaches. Train all your leaders to do much of their training and supporting on the floor or in the field, not in an office. Help them to develop "coaching agendas" to use with their staff members. Ideally these coaching agendas will synch with your monthly strategic communications points. Define the key elements and weave them into everything you do. Define the key elements of your desired future competitive advantage and weave those elements into everything you do. Decide what you want others to define as being your "key strengths" three years from now and then weave those elements into everything you do each day. You can transform your present into your future this way: define the test and teach for it every day. Decide where you need to be perceived as strong and then make that happen. Increase your contact with your Board members. Call every member of your Board at least once a quarter and fill them in on everything that's been happening and what challenges you've been confronting. These phone calls will bond you with your Board members in ways that will prove to be very important. Board members have a right and a responsibility to know what's happening. Determine the relative attractiveness of your current services. Review every service you offer and rate their relative attractiveness to the public sector. Plan to redesign, downsize or eliminate any service that you find yourself always having to "sell or subsidize". Consider whether you should expand those services that are "inherently attractive and that you don't need to sell or subsidize".
