To solve the challenges we face today, multi-level systems change is needed more than ever.  At every level of our systems, however, relationships are broken and in need of rebuilding.  How can we “flip the narrative” to see our differences as valuable resources for problem solving?  How can we leverage the rich information offered by our differences to find systemic solutions and achieve desired outcomes for all participants?  What role does leadership play in bridging across these differences?  Join us November 4 and 5 in Boston for the 12th Annual RCC Roundtable - with additional workshops on November 6 - to share your work and to learn from others. 

The Relational Coordination Collaborative is a global community of researchers and leaders working together to transform relationships for high performance and positive change.  The Roundtable is an annual event that brings together community members and friends to share their work and learn from others, offering interactive presentations, keynote speakers, professional development workshops, and informal engagement to help participants build their networks.

This year’s Roundtable will feature practitioners and researchers from all sectors - corporations, non-profits, health systems, universities, schools, professional associations, unions, communities, public sector organizations - to share their knowledge about building relationships across differences for multi-level systems change in the following areas and beyond:

• Diverse Professional and Social Identities.  Building relational coordination between diverse professional and social identities to achieve desired outcomes for multiple stakeholders (led by Wale Olaleye, Brandeis University)
• Worker Voice and Worker Well-Being.  Connecting across racial, ethnic, gender, occupational and power differences to achieve worker voice, fair pay and worker well-being (led by Yaminette Diaz-Linhart, MIT Sloan)
• Strengthening Healthcare Networks.  Strengthening networks across healthcare systems, community organizations, and public health to address social determinants of health and deliver high value care (led by Jody Hoffer Gittell, Brandeis University)
• Relational Ecosystems.  Building relationships across diverse stakeholders in ecosystems to solve grand social challenges like climate change, pandemics, affordable healthcare, poverty and hunger (led by Ina Sebastian, MIT Center for Information Systems Research)
• Resilient Communities.  Building relationships across differences to build inclusive, safe and resilient communities (led by Brenda Bond and Lauren Hajjar, Suffolk University)
