Regional Alignment Launch Series
Three sessions. One shared picture. The call everyone stands behind.
How the three sessions work
Three virtual working sessions, two hours each, designed with Collaboration Arts and built on what the System Snapshot™ found. You'll see the whole picture, agree on what matters most, and leave with a decision your region can stand behind, before the money's spent.
Completing a System Snapshot first gives you a decision and direction your peers helped build, so no one can say you bypassed them.
Session One: See what everyone knows.
Everyone adds what they know from their seat, and the mismatch between what's being taught and what's being built shows up on one screen. Every voice counts equally.
A shared map of the workforce challenge as your region's stakeholders actually experience it.
Why it's safe to speak up: you arrive having read a short brief, so no one is surprised. Live polling and ranking put every view on screen side by side, so the loudest voice doesn't win and nobody's exposed alone. The process guides understanding; it doesn't expose or blame.
You’ll leave knowing:
- how the gap looks from every other seat
- what nobody could see alone
- the 3–4 themes your region cares most about
Session Two: Find out where you really agree.
You leave with a ranked list of priorities that every sector actually agrees on, not polite agreement that evaporates once the meeting ends.
If you teach or hire: this is where programs and openings start pointing at the same jobs.
You’ll leave knowing:
- how the top themes compare with what your sector actually lives with
- where agreement is real and where it's only assumed
- where to act first
Keep what you've built: the expertise and relationships already in the room are what carry the work forward.
Session Three: Make the call everyone stands behind.
You leave with a design brief your region owns: clear priorities, named leadership, and a commitment from each sector. Decide together. Own it together.
You’ll leave knowing:
- who does what
- who else to bring in
- how you'll keep working together
- what each sector commits to first
Regional direction cannot be imposed. It must be built through dialogue that helps stakeholders understand one another’s realities, identify shared priorities, and create direction they trust enough to act on together.
With the full picture and your peers' backing, you move with the room, not ahead of it.
If you fund: the design brief is one shared definition of success your grantees can work toward.
