Who is in the room?

Go around (if you have a group of folks from your NIC, have one person share the name of your network) – What NIC are you representing? How long has your NIC been in

existence?

3

Session Objectives

Understand necessary processes of a hub, how they are interconnected, and what roles they play in a NIC

Use case (Central Valley NIC) to provide concrete example of how processes come together to drive work of a NIC

Have opportunity to reflect on and assess own hub processes

4

Private Write

Think about how your hub currently operates

Identify the five primary work processes / activities that take up most of the hub’s time right now (e.g. organizing network meetings, coaching network members in improvement science, developing measures and data collection tools, etc.)

5

Turn and Talk

Compare your list with someone next to you (preferably someone from another NIC)

How to use the systems map

Identify who in the hub ‘owns’ which processes

Identify and prioritize processes in need of improvement

Understand how processes are connected > avoid siloed work
