Resourcing Community Ideas Regionally

Piloting various processes to improve internal communications and stay better connected to Regional stakeholder needs.

Executive Summary

HHS Regional Operating and Staff Divisions are organizationally separate but have many intersecting programs, priorities, and stakeholders in their area. Problems in simple coordination among staff across divisions results in inefficiencies and plenty of room for improved collaboration. This Philadelphia-based team will pilot various communication platforms and processes to improve communication and stay better connected to their efforts and stakeholder needs.
