2025 ADSD Capacity Building Initiative
In 2025, the Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) partnered with Social Entrepreneurs, Inc. (SEI) to advance a two-pronged Capacity Building and Leadership Initiative. One component focused on supervisors and managers across ADSD’s three Regional Centers, while the other focused on ADSD’s Interim Care Facility (ICF) leadership and staff.
For ADSD’s Regional Centers, SEI partnered with Brighter Strategies, which engaged a Guiding Team, to develop the ADSD Leadership Competency Model. Brighter Strategies’ process and model defined the key knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors expected of ADSD leaders. Using this customized model, SEI then designed a 12-month Leadership Capacity Building Academy (CBA) for more than 50 leaders to build and
apply these competencies through a Leadership Impact Project aimed at driving positive change for staff and the people served by ADSD. The Academy launched in September 2025 and will conclude in August 2026. The CBA launched in September 2025 and will conclude in August 2026.
At the ICF, SEI provided coaching, facilitation, and systems-level guidance to strengthen leadership practices, improve organizational culture, and advance sustainable change aligned with ICF priorities. SEI used a phased, relationship-centered approach grounded in inquiry, trust building, and shared ownership, engaging key partners including leadership, frontline staff, union stewards, and the Division of Human Resources
Management. SEI supported the development of a clear action plan that included convening a Guiding Team and a Leadership Team. This structure reinforced shared leadership and distributed ownership of change. This work helped establish an action plan and shared leadership structure, test the competency model, and clarify priorities such as conflict management, communication, accountability, and organizational culture. Using multiple, coordinated strategies, including Individual Coaching, Facilitated Meetings, and Systems Support have led to improved communication, stronger engagement and a shift towards shared accountability.
SEI’s capacity building work in 2025 supported the Aging and Disability Services Division in laying a strong foundation for sustained leadership development and organizational improvement, driven by the priorities and voices of those closest to the work.
