John Anselmi is the education officer for the New England Healthcare System - a division of the Veterans Affairs Health Care System. From within the notoriously slow-moving and complex federal government, Anselmi was able to create a pilot program for a new type of education, one that fit within the organizational goals and created opportunity for employees at all levels. In this talk, Anselmi will discuss the tactics and strategies that can be used to take the first steps toward launching new programs from within incredibly complex organizational structures. He'll focus on how to get programs off the ground, what it takes to get buy-in and how you can measure impact early. • Starting with a pilot enables you to prove success and expand. • You need a leap of courage to make progress in a large, complex organization. • An educational partner that can also help you measure impact is essential.
