The Regulator's Practice

With provincial elections taking place across the country, we thought it might be the right time for some unsolicited advice to those new Cabinet Ministers that may be inheriting regulatory oversight responsibilities. #provincial #elections #regulation #appointments #publicinterest

We know you are planning your 2025 Board calendars.  How can we help?  📝 Board Learning: Build in some interactive and engaging board learning.  The Practice has developed a suite of governance learning modules tailored to address the challenges that regulatory boards face:   - Regulatory Governance Foundations,   - The Practice of Chairship,   - Navigating Conflict in the Board and Committee Room. ✅ Board Evaluation: Looking for a meaningful, regulatory-specific board evaluation?  Our Governance Practice Assessment is a customized tool for regulatory boards to self assess their performance or get a third party perspective.  The GPA explores critical areas of governance that impact a regulator’s ability to fulfill its regulatory mandate. 🎯 Strategic Planning: Who are we? Where are we now? Where are we going?  How are we going to get there? These four simple questions ground our approach and philosophy to regulatory strategic planning.  We recognize that strategy within a regulatory context is unique, and we’re here to navigate it with you.

Regulatory leaders need access to coaching and advice from people that understand the gig and the challenges and nuances they face. The Regulator’s Practice believes in the power of 1 to 1 support for Registrars and Board Chairs and continue to build a team of Advisors that individually and collectively create a powerful network of support around the leader.     We are excited to announce that Darlene K.

It has been just over two years since we hung The Regulator’s Practice shingle and started supporting regulatory leaders across the country. It has been an exciting time. One year ago I welcomed two incredible members to the team, Kevin McCarthy and Iva Gatcheva, and with three times the capacity, we have been able to do so much more. The two-year milestone also brings with it exciting news. Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing you to new members of the team who bring diverse experience and allow us to broaden our support of the regulatory community. Today, we are starting with a bang introducing Joanie Bouchard, our new 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 – 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆. For anyone who knows Joanie, you will know she is a powerhouse. Joanie has recently closed two exciting chapters in her career – as the ED/Registrar of the College of Dietitians of BC and as the Chief Transition Officer of the BC’s recent health regulatory amalgamation, seeing eleven colleges amalgamate into two. Joanie’s leadership in BC has had a profound impact on our regulatory landscape – real commitment and traction to dismantling Indigenous-specific racism, increased collaboration among regulators, governance modernization, and, of course, amalgamation. Her passion for continuous learning, her ability to connect with people on a human level, and her drive to see positive change realized, has made healthcare in BC safer and more inclusive. As Joanie moves back to Quebec with her family, she joins The Regulator’s Practice community as an 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 – 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆. Joanie will support Registrars and regulatory bodies across the country as they: ➕ Lean into transformative change including amalgamation ➕ Redesign their regulatory strategy and engage in strategic discussions about the future ➕ Provide high-quality regulatory-specific governance learning to their boards and committees We are excited to welcome Joanie to the team, and excited that regulators across the country will get to benefit from her rich experience and passion for regulation.

Navigating Amalgamation: From The Regulator's Perspective This is the final article in our 3-part series with INCITE where we glean learnings and key takeaways from Dianne Milette, CEO of the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC, and Carin Plischke, CEO of the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC on navigating unique regulatory challenges and steering large scale reform. #BC #amalgamation #regulatory #reform #healthcare

Proud to work with the INCITE team to share some of the learning from our work with regulators navigating amalgamations. This is the second of three articles focusing on the importance of communication through the amalgamation process. #regulation #change #amalgamation #communication

At midnight last night, 11 BC health profession regulators become 2: the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC and the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC. The Regulator's Practice is proud to have been a part of this process and to the support the design of the governance frameworks for these multi-professional health regulators. Of course we want to thank all those we have worked with through this process including Allan Seckel and Joanie Bouchard. Such an honour to work alongside such committed and focused leaders. We also want to send our gratitude and very best wishes to the staff of these two new regulators. You got this! You are about to build something new, innovative and groundbreaking... and we can't think of better people to do it. You are some of the most thoughtful, committed people we have ever worked with. Bring your best, support each other, build something spectacular, never forget the publics you serve, be bold, be creative and enjoy the ride.
