CONTEXT: Layoff Aversion (Rapid Response)
TEN August 31, 2012“Establishment and maintenance of deep and
broad partnerships.”“…an environment that encourages innovation,
promotes creativity, and favors comprehensive solutions over menu-based services.”
“…layoff aversion is as much a mindset as a collection of activities.”
CONTEXT: Layoff Aversion (Rapid Response)
“Rapid response is a complex and varied component of the workforce system…practitioners must exhibit an array of competencies that cross many disciplines, and often perform seemingly disparate functions, while creating seamless solutions for all customers…Rapid response is both strategic and operational.”

Welcome to the Inaugural Governors Prosperity Prize Event
GOVERNORS PROSPERITY PRIZE CHALLENGE
Goal: Develop 1-3 specific ideas for:Improving program performanceIncreasing program/service impactIncreasing efficiencyLeveraging resourcesLinking urban and rural strategiesConnecting more Alaskans with local jobs
Ideas should balance creativity with “doability,” and consider options for scaling and learning before full-scale implementation.

WHAT SURPRISED YOU ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY?
Similar themes across all the groups We could do a lot of the things we identified
without any additional $ Lots of ideas that build on our existing strengths Lots of focus on groups of individuals rather than
individual people Implementing ideas would require both staff time
and support by leaders Creativity was very quick to surface
20
WHAT SURPRISED YOU ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY?
Seemed like people were ready for this discussion – they had already been thinking about a lot of theses ideas.
Diversity yielded rich and important perspectives Mixing up (across sites/programs) made it easier to
focus on the ultimate goal/big picture There is a huge amount of knowledge among us
