The U.S. child welfare system is working to drive significant change. Key goals include reducing racial disproportionality and shifting to proactive, preventive services that support families and enable more children to stay safely at home.
But effecting systemic change isn’t a quick undertaking. And child welfare leaders still face the urgent demands of the day-to-day work. Managing critical incidents. Balancing workloads. Ensuring availability of resources like foster families.
Accenture recognizes the need to solve problems today while shaping a better tomorrow. We collaborate with our clients to deliver rapid-cycle change. Together, we listen carefully, identify root causes and then design and implement solutions quickly and effectively. We help understand and close gaps between how the organization is “supposed” to work and what’s really happening on the ground.
By rapidly solving short-term problems, child welfare organizations can maintain momentum for long-term transformation.
