Summary:
" Successful integrative practice begins at the nexus of intrapersonal and interpersonal levels of macro practice, and requires a nuanced sensitivity to both. Integrative Practice in and for Larger Systems guides readers through the development of a cohesive practice model to transform the management of community agencies. Specifically, the new model emphasizes accountability and awareness to the covert aspects of organizational culture and politics that underwrite effective service delivery. The book also addresses a broad scope of issues that require thoughtful consideration, including policy evaluations, interagency community-based practice, innovation implementation across larger systems, direct-service program management, and program and organization development. Written from the vantage point of administering and managing community agency-based practice using evidence-informed approaches, the text is an essential resource for students seeking to learn both agency and interagency management practices. "-- Provided by publisher. "The work lays out the fulcrum of issues and practice considerations that require care thought in delivering ethical and sound social work practice in larger systems intended to achieve service and system effectiveness. The book guides the reader in the key areas to include in planning, implementing and ensuring the leadership, administration and management of action packed programs and services in community based agency and interagency service collaborations"-- Provided by publisher.
