WHAT IS A SYSTEMS APPROACH?
10
What Is a System? Two or more parts that interact with each other to form a functional whole Has a specific boundary Has inputs and outputs Has no “leaks� Inputs come out better
11
What are the Features of a System? When put together, the whole has functions and outcomes not seen in any individual part
When taken apart, the functions and outcomes of the whole are reduced or no longer work

A Systems Approach An approach to solutions that begins with the whole and considers its many parts as they relate to one another Solutions: stop future crime, no new victims, reduced recidivism, restored lives, resources saved, resources acquired, partners, engaged community
15
Reasons To Use a Systems Approach ü Greater engagement – referral, retention & completion
of services ü Improved accountability ü Consistency of message between supervision, treatment and partners ü Uniform understanding of sanctions and rewards
16
Reasons To Use a Systems Approach ü Create continuum of interventions, services and
rewards ü Open up communication ü Understand each other’s language ü Create a shared decision making process
17
Reasons To Use a Systems Approach ü Involve offender’s/client’s family, friends and peers ü Stronger integration with the community ü Democracy! People engaged in solutions
18

Team Exercise #3: What Does the Data Tell Us?: 10 minutes • Use data over time to show level of usage of system
partners • Treatment • Mental health • Employment
• Which partners? • Why? • How often? • What “dosage”? • Overuse/Underuse? • Right fit?
Example: Treatment • Which provider do you refer most to? • What services are available at this provider, i.e. inpatient, outpatient, etc • How many cases do you refer to them? • How many people go to the initial appointment? • How many people ‘complete’ the recommended treatment? *It is important to know how many people are receiving which treatment in order to manage case flow

PARTNERSHIPS
31
Partnership Ladder • The word “Partnership” can mean many things • Mission alignment • Resource sharing • Risk sharing • Return distribution • Higher up the ladder = stronger partnership • “Skin in the game”
32
4 Levels of Partnership • Coexistence (acknowledge each other) • Communication (talk to each other) • Cooperation (do some things together) • Collaboration (shared outcomes)
• Collaboration is best for a systems approach
