Episode 3: From Hierarchy to Co-Creation in the California Foster Care System

We explore how organizations and systems can progress from hierarchical decision-making structures to co-creation that drive program and population outcomes. We answer questions like how a system embedded in bureaucracy shift its power balance to include diverse voices in decision making? What is adaptive leadership and how can we use it to impact institutional bias and promote equity?

Hosted by Alexis Kirk (Implementation Specialist, The Impact Center at FPG) and featuring Mark Lapiz (Program Manager, Santa Clara County Social Services Agency, San Jose, California).
