Alt+Shift Summer Retreat 2026

Alt+Shift Summer Retreat 2026

June 16-17, 2026

Event Setting

In person

Implementation efforts in complex “dancing landscapes” can be exciting and full of promise. They can also lose traction when confronted with interconnected and dynamic challenges deeply rooted in the system. This puts outcomes in jeopardy and can reinforce systems that produce unsatisfactory or undesirable results.

Alt+Shift invites ISD and district implementation teams to Traverse City for two days of teamwork that confronts complex challenges, protects desired outcomes, and identifies potential steps to dance with the complexity.

Audience

ISD and district implementation teams, inclusive of an executive decision maker, working to address dynamic systemic barriers impacting implementation goals.
