Building a team culture for adaptive management in MSD

Many resources on adaptive management rightfully focus on the important role that leaders play in shaping a programme team’s culture. This short brief complements these resources by focusing specifically on the distinct and valuable role that MEL managers can play in actively contributing to a culture that supports implementation of an MSD approach.

• investing in monitoring and communicating early signs of change
• involving non-traditional sources
