Strength Deployment Inventory

Course Description

Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) (formerly Core Strengths) is a LEADS based professional development course designed for Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) managers who are currently responsible for leading a team. This course is delivered through self-study with pre-assessment reflection, interactive virtual facilitated workshops, and joining a Community of Practice (CoP) for 90 days following the main sessions.

SDI provides resources and guided discussions that, when practiced and role modelled by leaders, can be transformational for a leader’s own self-awareness, which can translate into greater effectiveness through relationships.

The course is organized into cohorts and participants will learn alongside the same group of leaders throughout. A cohort approach provides opportunities for relationship building, networking and contributes to an environment where participants regularly learn from the insights and lived experiences of others in the course.

Participant Information

Enrollment is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Programs support Out of Scope (OOS) leaders at the manager, director, and executive leadership levels. OOS specialists and in-scope leaders with supervisory responsibilities may be accommodated as space permits.

For training opportunities with intact teams, please submit a Leadership Support Request through MyConnection > HR > Leadership Support > Leadership Support Request to arrange a consultation with a specialist.

Registration Information

Prior to registering, we encourage all interested participants to meet with your director first to ensure their support and to confirm you are able to fully participate in all aspects of the Strengths Deployment Inventory (formerly Core Strengths) program. While we understand things come up and plans change, it is expected that registered participants are able to attend and participate in 100% of Strengths Deployment Inventory programming, INCLUDING the 3 monthly Community of Practice sessions

If your desired cohort is full, please email shaorgdevelopment@saskhealthauthority.ca
