This second session builds upon the first session\, Introduction to Strategic Foresight webinar\, for an interactive\, 1.5-hour session exploring the Institute for the Future (IFTF) and Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) guidebook: Building Future-Readiness into Public Health. \nWe’ll introduce a suite of self-guided tools designed to connect long-term foresight with present-day action. Learn how to leverage foresight building blocks like signals of change and drivers of change to reveal unexpected possibilities\, “ride two curves\,” and build strategy by working backwards from a desired future.

SUMMARY:Supporting Public Health Infrastructure Transformation ECHO Series: Session 3
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI)\, in partnership with the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI)\, is hosting a six-part virtual ECHO series focused on the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) key strategies of Workforce\, Foundational Capabilities\, and Data Modernization. This offering is designed to help health departments deepen\, operationalize\, and fully embed the initiatives they have already begun. The series will emphasize practical\, actionable strategies that move agencies beyond simply meeting standards toward achieving meaningful transformation. \nBy leveraging current strengths and knowledge\, participants will move beyond meeting standards\, fostering genuine transformation and enhancing readiness for meaningful change\, implementation\, and sustainability. The aim is to bridge the gap between awareness and the ability to fully integrate capabilities\, policies\, processes\, and technologies into daily operations and organizational culture. By providing participants with practical strategies\, the series seeks to help them embed the infrastructure work they have already outlined\, initiated\, and implemented into lasting transformation and sustainability. Furthermore\, the initiative will leverage the strong network and positive relationships developed during the previous ECHO series\, with the intention to expand and sustain collaborative efforts across the country. \nSession Dates:\nThis series will consist of six\, hour-long sessions (3:00-4:00pm ET)\, once a month from June-November 2026. \n\nSession 1: June 17\, 2026\nSession 2: July 22\, 2026\nSession 3: August 19\, 2026\nSession 4: September 23\, 2026\nSession 5: October 21\, 2026\nSession 6: November 18\, 2026\n\nSeries objectives include:\nWorkforce Development \n\nAnalyze current workforce strengths\, gaps\, and organizational needs to determine priority areas for development and long‑term resilience.\nDesign sustainable\, equity‑centered strategies for recruiting\, training\, and retaining a skilled public health workforce aligned with PHIG goals.\n\nFoundational Capabilities \n\nEvaluate the degree to which foundational capabilities (assessment\, communication\, partnerships\, preparedness\, and governance) are embedded in daily operations.\nImplement evidence‑based policies\, processes\, and organizational practices that strengthen and sustain core public health capabilities.\n\nData Modernization  \n\nApply modern data tools\, technologies\, and workflows to improve data quality\, sharing\, and use for equitable\, evidence‑driven action.\nAnalyze the basic requirements for improving data systems\, including how data should be collected\, shared\, and protected to support timely public health action.
