Innovation Approaches to Tackle Public Health and Community Challenges

Overview:

This is a three-part webinar series; all parts were recorded. These were interactive webinars in which learners engaged with the instructor and other participants. Learners may choose to register for all webinars in the series or for individual sessions.

Systems problems, by definition, are complex and can seem impossible to tackle. However, there are tools and innovative approaches that might help public health professionals and partners make progress on these problems. Join us for a 3-part webinar series to learn tools and approaches for tackling large-scale community challenges, from maternal health to opioid overdoses. In the first webinar, we will cover stakeholder mapping and how understanding the whole ecosystem of players can help you decide who to include in co-creating solutions and what communications approaches to use. The second webinar will cover right-sizing your problem so that you can effectively approach and tackle it. If we don’t break systems problems down into manageable pieces, we often become immobilized by the complexity or risk losing the nuances of the problem. Finally, building off the identified parts of the ecosystem, in the third webinar, we’ll journey map the current, as well as the ideal, situation. From there, we can look at the gaps between the two states and ideate possible solutions.
