It's the time of year,as it always is to rethink what we do to support those we serve. For many years it has been the same, year after year without the creation of new models of supports and services that consider first and foremost the best for the individual, what is efficient and most importantly, what works to arrive at the desired outcome for the individual and their family.
As I manage and lead my organization I always consider the social worker side of 30 years. I now find myself considering the business side of my experience and hopefully learning from all the wrong decisions I and others have made. Cost benefit analysis plays a big role in what I and my team of leaders decide to do, yet the human side of this business continues to fill the mind with the notion of doing the right thing. Well, I think we can do both and take an integral approach to how we support individuals while also considering the best business decisions that will lead to a sustainable model for service delivery. We can no longer look at issues in isolation and think that we can solve problems this way. A good and strong approach to applying critical thinking and Integral Theory may very well get us to that place we call success.
