The Community Problem Solving Framework

Coalition Operational and Problem Solving Capacity

• 2. Develops and uses

quality planning products

• 1. Uses essential

decision making processes

• 3. Expands coalition

membership

Coalition Kaizen

• Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy based on

continuous improvement

• No organization is perfect
• Small incremental changes

Assessment (1 of 2)

• Coalition Kaizen Screening:

Review criteria for Kaizen:

• Enough participants to produce a valid result.
• Participants understand the overall steps in the process

that will produce a report to guide subsequent action.

• Recognize the value of a map to improvement even if

the starting point is “disappointing.”

• Commitment to action based on results.
• Commit to action beyond staff – group capacity is the

goal.

Assessment (2 of 2)

• Implement Kaizen

– If coalition meets criteria for Kaizen Assessment

• Review Key Planning Products

My Work:

• Compile results

– Coach will compile:

• Original symptoms reported by coalition
• Planning products emphasizing missing or incomplete products
• Analytic summary from Kaizen survey.
• Meeting with working group

– Coach will then facilitate a meeting with the coalition. This should be a small team of key members (3-5 optimal). – The results of initial assessment will be the framework of the conversation. – Group will develop these into a prioritized list of actionable

• priorities. (Max of 3 in most cases)

– The group will also identify any resources currently in use (i.e. CADCA support, evaluator etc.)

More of My Work

• Research and Plan

– Coach will take the results of the workgroup meeting and research appropriate resources to assist with identified problems. – Coach will then develop recommended courses of action for each priority and provide access to resources.

• Develop Report

– Coach will culminate all the findings into a concise

• report. Report will be provided to the coalition.

Action Planning

• General coalition meeting

– Coach and workgroup will co-facilitate action planning at a general meeting with the findings of the Kaizen

• Event. I will provide written document and content.

– After the initial brief, workgroup members facilitate action planning, ensuring commitment and key completion dates

• Follow on support

– I am here to help! Together we will plan support as needed

Initial Coordination for assessment / reassessment Kaizen Assessment (30 – 45 Min) Review Planning Products Analyze results and develop priorities with workgroup 1.5 – 3 hours Research Resources Present results and develop action plan .5 – 1 hour

Follow on support (5- 11 months until next Kaizen assessment

2 weeks to 6 months (initial Kaizen) 2 Weeks 2 Weeks
