Dan is spot on. As the CEO of one of the largest CIS programs in the nation, I witnessed first hand that “CIS essentially had been in “pilot” mode for its entire existence” until the ISS model was designed, implemented, and thoroughly evaluated. How to keep the well-researched model in the public eye for years to come will be the magic, because philanthropists enjoy putting their hand (investments) into any new candy jar that appears innovative, sexy, and easily marketable.
I love your insight into what questions will need be answered in the coming years after the transition to public sector. I’ve spent half of the last year trying to figure out effective models of intervention, and then the other half understanding implementation models which were sufficiently resilient to withstand the gargantuan forces of public sector and I’ve come up pretty empty handed. I wish you the best of luck in your next endeavour!
