CLEO'S CHANGE SUMMARY
SUMMARY:
Project Part I from Frances Ravensbergen’s class. Project was about organizing an event to influence
systemic change. I did an analysis paper on a project already completed, about an event that was
organized as a Forum.
The title was the Aboriginal Health and Human Resources (AHHRI): Innovative Employment and Learning
Practices, Western and Northern Forum held in Regina, Saskatchewan in the spring of 2006. This forum
was to promote Aboriginal employment in the health care sector, as well to bring together
stakeholders from the health care sector, employers, educators, unions, Aboriginal organizations and
the three levels of government.
The forum was a first of its kind in Canada and provided the opportunity for Saskatchewan and other
jurisdictions to highlight some promising practices on Aboriginal health human resources. It became
evident through the course of the forum that Saskatchewan has taken a lead to implement initiatives
that enhance and support a representative workforce. Additionally, it is significant to note that
although they had many successes, Saskatchewan’s health sector is still not reflective of the general
population; there remains work to be done in the workforce.
CHALLENGE:
In order to influence change it is important to ensure you have the right people that have authority
to make decisions and the responsibility in their area of work. One of our offices goals was to
influence change in the broader labour market system of supply and demand. To do this you need the
right people, in the right place, at the right time.
WHY CHALLENGE?:
This type of work requires stability, in order for people to evaluate and follow-up with changes in
the system, or changes in behaviours and attitudes. Involvement through community activism and
engagement for purposes of influencing change, these processes of networks, alliances, partnerships
and campaigns take investment of time and persistence. Systemic change does not happen overnight. It
takes continuous monitoring and effort over a long period of time, sometimes over many years.
(Cornwall, 2008) “...from involvement to influence, these processes take investment of time and
persistence”.
This is very difficult to continue follow-up when there is inconsistencies with people in the
positions you need to deal with to pursue your work in this area. People change careers, move on to
other job opportunities, or new political parties get elected and mandates and agenda’s change. This
is where I think the formal partnership agreements or MOU’s would be helpful, so when you need to do
follow-up you can fall back on the previous agreements to initiate working together in partnership.
