Relational Coordination Collaborative

Workshops & Courses

Carrying out change using relational coordination principles and metrics requires skill.  Edgar Schein and Tony Suchman wrote in 2011:  "Such work requires the involvement of skilled coaches/consultants with experience in group dynamics, systems work, conflict resolution, and the teaching of emotional self-management. For all these reasons, we urge you not to tread lightly or naively into the realm of interventions. Be prepared to invest the necessary time and resources and be sure you have access to the skills and experience that the work requires." 

Below are workshops and courses offered by members of the RCC community.  These workshops and courses cover a wide array of change skills from multiple disciplines, some with a greater focus on relational approaches and others with a greater focus on technical approaches, but typically with a shared appreciation for the importance of both and the synergies between them. 

We invite RCC members to post their workshops and courses here, enabling other members and the broader community to register.

Team Coaching Program

Facilitators:  The IEHSS Team

Join the Team Coaching Program in lovely Silver City, New Mexico!

Improvement and change starts with you, and taking a small step forward gets you on your way to achieving your goals and improving your teams’ wellbeing and the experience of your patients.

At the Institute for Excellence in Health and Social Systems (IEHSS), we have been focusing on microsystems - the smallest replicable unit within a system - for 20 years. We spend our time researching, testing, teaching and coaching ways to make improvement easier and more effective for you and your team.

In the Team Coaching Program (TCP), the applied theory of team coaching comes to life with the coach learning and practicing helping individual multidisciplinary team members successfully work together to achieve their improvement goals and become a "high-performing" multidisciplinary team that provides and improves care and services for those we serve.

TCP is ideal for coaches of teams, improvement team leaders or facilitators, leaders/managers at all levels, health professional educators, patients, families, and quality improvement staff.
