Legacy and Wisdom of Joanne Disch PhD RN FAAN
No full textAlbert Linderman, Ph.D., cultural anthropologist, and CEO of Sagis Corporation has for more than 10 years, been eliciting, surfacing, and representing, with his Sagis team, the “deep smarts and wisdom” of leaders and experts. This surfacing and representation allows for the transference to others. Effective also with groups, this Sense‐Making approach, adapted from the work of Paulo Freire and Brenda Dervin, has been used with great results in many businesses and organizations in Minnesota. Albert also is the author of Why the world around you is and as it appears (2012, Steiner Books) and lead author of "Surfacing and transferring expert knowledge: the sense making interview," Human Resource Development International (07/2011: 14(3): 353‐362).
This document summarizes the wisdom and legacy of Dr. Disch who developed her mastery through the many leadership positions she has undertaken during her career. She came to Minnesota in 1991 as Senior Associate Director/Director of Nursing of the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic. She oversaw a mammoth re‐organization and, in 1997, became the VP of Patient/Family Services of the merged Fairview Riverside Hospital and the University of Minnesota Hospital. In 2000, she became the Director for the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership, a position she held until 2012. Along the way she served numerous significant positions of leadership, most notably as Interim Dean of the University of Minnesota School of Nursing (UMN SoN) (2004), President of the AAN (2011‐2013) and Chair of the Board of AARP (2006‐ 2008).This project was supported by Dean Connie White Delaney and the Katherine J Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership at the University of MInnesota School of Nursing.Linderman, Albert; Linderman, Albert.

Legacy and Wisdom of Sandra Edwardson PhD Dean of the School of Nursing 1991-2004
No full textIn the summer of 2013 the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership (K. J. Densford Center) Director, Daniel Pesut, asked Albert Linderman to partner with the School of Nursing to interview retired Dean Sandra Edwardson, who served as Dean from 1991 to 2004. The partnership’s goal was to provide historically significant documentation of her deanship as well as to elicit and represent her experiential wisdom for the benefit of others.
Sandra Edwardson’s deanship, 1991- 2004, provided a needed bridge to allow the University of Minnesota School of Nursing to advance from its former status as an innovative education focused school to the sophisticated, technologically savvy, integrative health conscious force that it is today. She guided significant culture change during her tenure, emphasizing practice-based research and the building of a research focused faculty that has allowed the school to blossom under the leadership of current Dean Connie Delaney. During the summer of 2013, Albert Linderman of Sagis Corporation had the privilege to engage in interviewing Dr. Edwardson focused on her career as Dean. With the use of Sense Making Methodology, Dr. Linderman elicited significant insights from Dr. Edwardson. Linderman also surveyed numerous documents and interviewed others, including Dean Connie Delaney, faculty member Linda Halcon, and the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership Director Daniel Pesut. These activities and findings serve as the foundation for this report.Dean Connie White Delaney and the Katharine J Densford International Center for Nursing LeadershipLinderman, Albert. (2013).

Rapid City Collective Impact: A City-Wide Effort to Create Quality of Life for All Its Citizens
No full textIn Rapid City, South Dakota, community, business, nonprofit, and faith communities leaders, along with a number of citizens across all demographics, are collaborating in a unique plan to create quality of life for all its citizens. Named Rapid City Collective Impact (RCCI), this initiative began with the vision of several local philanthropists and has expanded quickly throughout the community. Cultural anthropologist Albert Linderman along with expertise from community based systems dynamics experts Don Greer, Megan Odenthal, and Christine Capra have formed a facilitative “backbone” organization for RCCI. Based on the model for “Collective Impact” made popular by an article by a Stanford Innovation Review article by authors John Kania and Mark Kramer, organizations and programs serving Rapid City citizens are committed to significantly increasing the amount of collaboration occurring within the social service sector, while business and other community leaders work to leverage newly understood leverage points within the intersecting systems of the city which often limits ability to address entrenched social issues

Albert Franco tells of his family's life on the Isle of Rhodes; why they left; how they came to Seattle. He tells of his father, Marco Franco's, achievements in business and of his father's extensive participation in community affairs, in the Sephardic community and in the community in general. He tells of his own education, his career as a lawyer, his war service in the Army Intelligence, and of his work in the community. He experienced discrimination by his fellow Jews when no Sephardic student could join a Jewish fraternity or sorority. This interview gives illuminating insights concerning the history of an early day Sephardic family and how a child who grew up in that era reacted as shown in his community work as as adult. His account of his father, Marco Franco, as a liaison between the various segments in the community is interesting.
