Dispute Resolution System Integration and Performance Enhancement (DR SIPE) Workbook

Series:
Author:
Publication Date:
Abstract:
CADRE works with states to coordinate and improve their dispute resolution system using a systematic, data guided process for managing and improving dispute resolution programs and practices. The DR SIPE workbook outlines the steps in that change process, emphasizing the initial steps of problem analysis and identifying areas with the highest potential for improvement. This continually evolving document is designed as a review of all aspects of the State’s dispute resolution system, identifying what is working well, where problems exist and which problems are most amenable to solutions that will produce the greatest impact toward achieving program goals. Once identified, states can use their own planning formats for implementing improvement efforts. CADRE welcomes participation (individually or in multi-state sessions) by states interested in improvement planning of dispute resolution using this kind of approach.
