A new leadership structure for the Labor Management Partnership in Georgia in 2011 has led to an increased level of executive engagement. Kerry Kohnen, the new regional president, transitioned overall UBT oversight from Human Resources to Operations. In addition, David Jones, MD, the new regional physician co-lead who reports to the executive medical director, has joined the team that assumes accountability for UBT performance. The region added 10 new teams in 2011 and saw significant development of its existing teams along the Path to Performance. This development included just-in-time training for team sponsors and co-leads, which brought greater clarity to role expectations and improved communication within and among the teams—facilitating the sharing of project results and effective practices. Seventy-one percent of Georgia’s teams worked on service projects in 2011. In 2012, the region will expand on the 2011 improvements with the development of a formal reporting structure.
