WORK IN PROGRESS

Articles in Preparation: 1) Strategic Leverage Through Learning Case reports, and validation of measures based on pooled data, from organizations that used the survey-based instrument, Strategic Leverage Through Learning 2) Organizational capacity and learning for collaboration and service delivery in inter- organizational collaboratives Based on research in inter-organizational collaboratives in ten sites that were part of a national welfare-to-work demonstration project (CASAWORKS for Families) designed to assist substance abusing welfare mothers in achieving recovery and self-sufficiency. Collaboratives used a new survey-based instrument, Assessing Organizational Capacity and Learning for Collaboration and Service Delivery, to assess organizational capacity and learning. Research investigated links between organizational capacity and learning and site differences in client outcomes. Articles will report the development and validation of survey-based measures, results of analysis linking these measures to client outcomes, and quantitative and qualitative results which show that and how our model explains which sites were more of less successful in implementing the CASAWORKS model and in achieving key outcomes for clients. 3) Leveraging networks to improve performance at Otis Elevator Articles will report on validation of measures of networking and compare results for two cohorts of Otis University associates. 4) Networks and Communities in the U.S. Army 5) Leveraging Executive Education to Improve Organizational Learning and Strategy Implementation in Ericsson 6) A Theory of Change Model of Action Research Article will present the model with examples of how it has been used to monitor implementation and progress toward goals.
