ADEA CCI Liaisons
• A special group of faculty appointed by their deans
to be an agent of change both within their
institution and the larger dental education
community by:
▫ Actively participating in projects that build
institutional capacity and advance the goals of ADEA
CCI
▫ Share with other faculty, administrators, and staff at
their school

Change agents/leaders
• It is not enough for leaders to have a vision,
members of an organization must also share the
vision and when they do, the organization’s
ability to change and reach its potential soars
▫ Kouzes and Posner, 2006
Change
• Change initiatives are as
likely to be derailed over
disagreements about
process as they are about
substance (ACE, 1998-2001)
• Process is the actions and
strategies that change
agents/leaders employ during
the planning and
implementation of change
(Armenakis & Bedeian, 1999)
• We are going to hear three CCI liaisons describe
their individual leadership strategies and the
action plans they put into place to deal with
barriers to implementing their projects, i.e.,
▫
▫
▫
▫
▫
Faculty resistance
Changes in leadership
Financial constraints
Competing priorities
Faculty development (or lack thereof..)

▫ Develop an action plan for you or your liaison
group for sharing the information and knowledge
gained during the ADEA CCI Liaison Summer
2011 Meeting with faculty and administrators back
at your schools
• STEPS TO GET THERE:
▫ Each table has been assigned a facilitator who will
pose questions for discussion
▫ The questions are designed to elicit CCI Liaison’s
ideas for how to translate information gained at
this meeting into “action at home”
Next Steps
11:00 – 11:15 a.m.
• This time will be spent on table reports
▫ Yup, you guessed it! Each table will need to assign
someone to act as a reporter/recorder for the table
reports
