Background

The BCPSQC Learning & Capability Development team works to build capability and capacity for improvement through a variety of avenues: Quality Academy, Board & Executive Learning Series, Quality Forum, online learning opportunities like the #QualityChat and Quality Café that are open to anyone and free to join as well as in-person workshops – such as this upcoming session. The workshop is interactive, and will explore various approaches to virtual meetings and Liberating Structures. The focus of the session will include components of virtual meetings and how to engage to problem solve and move forward as a team. We’ll also translate theory into practice by providing an opportunity to try facilitating these different types of virtual sessions and equip participants to apply what they learn in their own context at the Thursday sessions for one hour, known as the Sandbox. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: • Identify new strategies to enhance team and stakeholder engagement online • Apply creative techniques to generate ideas and solve complex problems • Create opportunities to empower teams, facilitate change and inspire innovation
