Madison, Wisconsin

The next NIATx Change Leader Academy (CLA) will take place September 22-23, 2008 at the Pyle Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The CLA is designed to help dedicated learners become leaders in applying NIATx process improvement in their agencies and earn certification as a NIATx Change Leader.

Who Should Attend?
The CLA is designed for dedicated individuals with little experience in leading change. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience in process improvement, the CLA will equip you to lead change projects and teams within your organization.

What do I get?
The academy consists of a two-day, on-site workshop for knowledge and skill development, led by a NIATx training team.

Using a "Learn-Do-Share" approach, attendees will cover a variety of topics, including: Walk-throughs, Nominal Group Technique, Creative Communication, Flowcharting, the Business Case, and the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) Cycle.

Attendees will be eligible to receive up to twelve CEUs for completion of the two-day workshop.

Following the workshop, participants will have access to phone and e-mail support as they work on their change projects in their own agencies over the course of the six month program.

Prior to certification as a NIATx Change Leader, participants will complete a change project and achieve a modest improvement goal for their agency with support from their agency change team and the NIATx training team.

What is the cost?
The fee of $450/person for the six-month program includes:

• Two-day workshop in Madison (lunches and materials included)*
• Pre and post workshop coaching conference calls and email support
• Twelve CEUs upon completion of the workshop
