“…Our study showed that the DISC model can fruitfully be applied to other cases as well and be used to diagnose the strengths and difficulties in a collaboration as a whole and for each individual sector involved in the collaboration, as previously suggested by Leurs et al (2008).…”

A multiple-case study of intersectoral collaboration in comprehensive school health promotion using the DIagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration (DISC) model

et al. 2015

Purpose – Intersectoral collaboration is often a prerequisite for effective interventions in public health. The purpose of this paper is to assess the facilitating and hindering conditions regarding intersectoral collaboration between health authorities, public health services (PHSs), public services stakeholders (PPSs) and the education sector in comprehensive school health promotion (CSHP) in the Netherlands. Design/methodology/approach – CSHP collaborations in five Dutch regions were studied using a questionnaire based on the DIagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration (DISC) model, focusing on: change management; perceptions, intentions and actions of collaborating parties; project organization; and factors in the wider context. Univariate and multivariate analyses with bootstrapping were applied to 106 respondents (62 percent response). Findings – A similar pattern of facilitating and hindering conditions emerged for the five regions, showing positive perceptions, but fewer positive intentions and actions. An overall favorable internal and external context for collaboration was found, but limited by bureaucratic procedures and prioritizing stakeholders’ own organizational goals. Change management was rarely applied. Some differences between sectors emerged, with greatest support for collaboration found among the coordinating organizations (PHSs) and least support among the financing organization (municipalities). Research limitations/implications – The generalization of the findings is limited to the initial formation stage of collaboration, and may be affected by selection bias, small sample size and possible impact of interdepartmental collaboration within organizations. Practical implications – The authors recommend establishing stronger change management to facilitate translation of positive perceptions into intentions and actions, and coordination of divergent organizational structures and orientations among collaborating parties. Originality/value – The results show that it is valuable for collaborating parties to conduct DISC analyses to improve intersectoral collaboration in CSHP.

“…Leurs et al (2008), por exemplo, propõem o diagnóstico de colaboração sustentável denominado modelo DISC (Diagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration), que analisa evidências de colaboração entre organizações, comportamento organizacional uma metodologia para identificar, classificar e priorizar indicadores de sustentabilidade baseada em normas e publicações de gestão de riscos (ver Figura 11). Aplicando o método em um caso prático, os autores verificaram que a limitação de tempo e custo dificulta a execução do processo, sendo que as diversas técnicas de identificação de indicadores nem sempre apontam um mesmo resultado.…”

“…Os autores discutem a influência dos valores dos indivíduos sobre os projetos de construção com base no modelo apresentado por Liu (2006), que trata do desenvolvimento sustentável como composto por quatro sistemas: econômico, socioambiental, socioeconômico e legal. Os sistemas são caracterizados por dois fatores: curto/longo prazo e flexibilidade/ controle (Liu, 2006) Leurs et al, 2008) e, por outro, empregar o termo no sentido de incorporar impactos ambientais e sociais às decisões até então tomadas a partir de paradigmas financeiros (Fellows & Liu, 2008;Sánchez & López, 2010;Corder et al, 2010). Além disso, chama a atenção os artigos não apresentarem uma solução concreta de como operacionalizar princípios de desenvolvimento sustentável nos processos de gestão de projetos.…”

Projects conducted in firms and organizations have immediate impacts as well as long-term consequences. The objective of this paper is to understand the treatment of sustainability issues in the literature on project management. The methodology incorporates bibliometric techniques, network analysis and content analysis. The results indicate that the publications are dispersed among many authors and journals. The themes relate to issues such as stakeholders, innovation and product development, with an emphasis on publications in the area of construction. There is a tendency, especially after 2005, toward articles focused on the economic pillar and on increasing participation in social and environmental approaches. In just the last two years, studies with a focus on the triple constraint -social, environmental and economic -have increased considerably. There are significant opportunities for research because the publications are far from exhaustive on this complex subject.

“…In response, collaboration is becoming an essential component of health promotion and disease management (Humphreys et al, 2012;Leurs, Mur-Veeman, van der Sar, Schaalma, & de Vries, 2008;Odum & Whaley-Connell, 2012;Padget, Bekemeier, & Berkowitz, 2004). The need for effective interprofessional collaboration and teamwork to achieve better health for all and improved personal care at better value requires partnerships beyond the traditional health professions, extending to nonprofessional, frontline health workers, such as community health workers and non-health related professions.…”
