Influence in Action: From Mapping to Mobilizing Your Network
September 3, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. CST
AMIA Member Price: $207
In informatics, authority is rarely as simple as a title or an org chart. You're leading implementation teams where half the stakeholders don't report to you. You're persuading clinicians who outrank you. You're negotiating with IT, compliance, and executives who each have conflicting priorities—and you're expected to make it all work.
Through an influence mapping exercise and case examples, this workshop will help you read your relational ecosystem with greater clarity, learn strategies for navigating relationships where you don't have formal authority, and consider strategic next steps to increase your influence.
Making the Strategic Shift: Moving from Tactical Firefighting to Purpose-Driven Vision
November 3, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. CST
AMIA Member Price: $207
The success of an informatics initiative is rarely determined by technical delivery alone; it is determined by the clarity of its purpose. While experts typically excel at the "how" and "what" of project delivery, true leadership requires the ability to articulate a strategic vision that inspires buy-in across teams and units. This workshop tackles this strategy gap by providing the tools to move from reactive firefighting to more vision-centered leadership.
Through an exploration of Simon Sinek’s "Golden Circle" and a strategic priority audit, this workshop will help you build a compelling narrative for your work and distinguish between high-value visionary goals and the tactical noise that often crowds out leadership impact.
