Program Description

Informatics sits at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and human behavior—an environment
that grows more complex every day. Thriving in this space requires not only technical expertise, but also
the leadership skills to guide teams, influence systems, and drive meaningful change. This framework
provides an evidence-based path to help informaticians lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Authentic Self-Assessment: Profiling Your Leadership Operating System

Authentic self-assessment is a rigorous, data-driven look at your leadership code. It’s about understanding your strengths, recognizing your weaknesses, and identifying your non-negotiable values so you can operate with clarity, integrity, and consistency.

Influence Mapping: Mobilizing Your Relational Networks

Influence mapping is a structured, data-informed approach to understanding and activating the relationships that shape your impact. It’s about identifying key relationships, optimizing patterns in your collaborations, and developing strategic partnerships to accomplish shared goals.

Change by Design: Programming Innovative Solutions

Leading innovation and change is about creating collaborative processes that allow teams to tackle complexity, experiment safely, and cultivate strategic partnerships. Think of it as operationalizing a dynamic system: you set parameters, test iterations, and optimize outputs while guiding your team through uncertainty.

Our team-connect Survey Process

 

We start with thoughtfully diagnosing the team’s current culture by using available data, assessments and interviews.

This provides the team leader with a clear view of what is getting in the way of the team’s success.

We design a series of structured team sessions that:

  • Share the team culture analysis
  • Give team members the opportunity to talk through both processes and behaviors that need to be addressed
  • Productively provide feedback to one another
  • Develop both team and individual commitments that will lead to the team’s desired state

 

Measure progress by leveraging CTD’s team-connect Survey to:

  • Drive accountability and measure progress by collecting team feedback specific to one another’s engagement and behavioral change
  • Provide the team’s leader with a clear understanding of what he/she and the team need from each other to enable and support the team’s success
  • Share team and individual survey result reports
