Discussion
Overview
March 8, 2017 CMHO Collaborative Governance Webinar 2
Clients, families and funders want service providers across human services to work as integrated service systems to better meet their needs with:
⁄ Coordinated access so that people know where to go
⁄ Consistent services regardless of where a client is served
⁄ Smooth hand-offs between services and providers
⁄ Best practices used wherever a client is served
Government has responded in several sectors by establishing:
⁄ Local Health Integration Networks in health care
⁄ Lead agencies in child and youth mental health
⁄ “Collaboratives” in adult mental health
⁄ Networks of Specialized Care in developmental services and mental health
⁄ Provincial agencies such as:
⁄ Ontario Centre of Excellence in Child and Youth Mental Health
⁄ Health Quality Ontario
From “Services” to “Service Systems”

Why Collaborative Governance is Needed?
March 8, 2017 CMHO Collaborative Governance Webinar
⁄ All players have to change to achieve the desired outcomes
⁄ Contractual relationships require us to pursue integration
⁄ Board’s set direction and measure performance against objectives
⁄ Boards can’t do a good job of strategic and generative governance without engaging in collaborative governance
⁄ It is in the best interests of the people we serve
Collective Impact
4
Collaborative governance is and is not!
.
Is NOT… IS…
Board-level merger or integration
Multiple Boards partnering together to collectively achieve results for shared stakeholders
A “Super Board”Less about structure and more about process, relationships and communications
An additional level of governance
A response to the demand for greater integration and partnerships amongst providers.
Competition among peers
Collaboration among stakeholders to meet the needs of shared populations

As in the MH LHIN, early work identified the need for governance training
Provided Governance 101 and now 201 at a LHIN-wide level
Using the sub-regions of the LHIN as the basis for the governance discussions
System planning is at the sub-region level and each is taking a different path

Undertook joint assessment of the LHIN-CCAC interactions including budget development, multi year planning, and common projects
• Initiated Governance to Governance (G2G) very early on.
• A forum to foster interaction of health service providers with each other and
the LHIN and promote education and trust.
• Participants: HSP Board Members and Executive Directors/CEOs with
LHIN Board Members and Senior Team
• Started with an independent Facilitator but now use LHIN staff.
• Intermingled seating plan with a LHIN board and or staff member at each
table for more engaged and constructive conversations.
• Generative discussions – opportunity for open, interactive dialogue.
• Educational component with guest speakers followed by a staff facilitated
discussion at the individual group table level.

Capitalize on Previous Collaborative Governance AssetsCoalition of Child Youth and Family Services (40 member agencies/services)established in 1999, including previous Board to Board engagements.
Purpose of Current Moving on Mental Health (MOMH) Collaborative Governance1. Catalyze collective board involvement and responsibility for System Change.2. Embed MOMH ownership in community governance, not just Lead Agency.
3. Develop and “live” a common vision for child and youth mental health.
Collective Governance ProcessFirst Session with Core Service Providers Board reps: Initial vision development for CYMH in the service area, updates on the core services plan and potential priorities for the two plans.
• Wanted to make sure the boards received updates directly from the Lead Agency
• Discussion was wide-ranging, which was goodSecond Session: shared and analyzed strategic plans from 5 core service providers, seeking common visions and strategies, as well as strategic gaps.
• Established a portal for board members to access information
Planned Third Session: Open up the engagement process to other non-core service but allied providers: Hospital Board, LHIN Board, School Board Trustees, etc• Linkage of common visions, yielding a Simcoe County vision for child and youth mental
health
Simcoe County Lead Agency Experience
March 8, 2017 14CMHO Collaborative Governance Webinar
Just Do It! Board members are keen to meet colleagues from other agencies!
► Keep the sessions open to all board members rather than asking for a designated representative; Senior Staff representation is welcome;
► Ensure the process is governance organized and sustained;
►Keep discussions at a high level as opposed to discussions of specific issues in each agency; focus on the common vision and mission for CYMH;
►This will help when difficult decisions need to be made about services later;
►Value Added: Some agencies said that they have difficulty recruiting; so they are considering sharing board members;
►Started with Saturday mornings to help with board member access;
►Important to have good independent facilitation so everyone participates;
►Anticipated outcomes are similar to Collective Impact but more of a “developmental” approach.

How does this information compare to what is developing in your region?
How much time does your board spend on systems versus organizational priorities?
How much time should your board spend on systems versus organizational priorities?
What about your CEO? How much time and effort is reasonable for your CEO to spend on system issues/priorities?
What does this mean for your Board?
Does your Board need to do anything different?
