2022 Fostering Change Cohort

ACRL’s Fostering Change Cohort is a 12-week program designed for teams from institutions planning any type of organizational change. Each team can be made up of 2 to 5 library workers. Facilitators will help you articulate your vision to various stakeholders and imagine ways to demonstrate the value and impact of your change. They’ll aid in identifying and establishing team dynamics, providing strategies for working with people who are struggling with change, and trying out project management tools for organizing your work. The facilitators and your cohort will help you create a plan that can help take your organization from where you are today to your imagined future.
