On September 1, 2009, 34 representatives from 20 hospitals in Northern and Central California participated in the premier session of "Hop On The Bus, Gus: Myths and Mysteries of Engagement".

Utilzing a variety of presentations, exercises and discussions, the Beacon team revealed new perspectives on how to engage the right people at the right time to contribute to the success of improvement projects. The session provided solutions to conquering the engagements challenges of why showing the evidence isn't sufficient and why everyone doesn't react to the same message or engage at the same time.

One participant summed up the day, "Beacon has been a wonderful tool for me and my practice. It has given me ideas and sparked creativity that may have not otherwise been uncovered or potential realized."

This exciting seminar for clinical and administrative leaders (managers, directors and medical staff), frontline staff and supervisors involved in change implementation offered practical suggestions for getting the right people on board at the right time.
