What Makes for Success?
• A well prepared team
• Knowing “where” you are (e.g., how did we do this
past year?, what does our final reporting show?)
• Access to data
• Ready to “hit the institute running”
• Having a facilitator!
Preparing Your Team
• Build a team that includes key personnel
• Pull your team together before the institute if
possible
• Acclimate new members to the institute process
• Identify team member roles if you haven’t already
Know Where you Stand
Use your transtionprogramtool.org site

our expected outcomes?
• Did we achieve our outcomes?
