DISCUSSION 1 (Sarah) The two theories I chose are incremental and transactive planning. Incremental theory focuses on compromising with two groups. There is a focus on finding the plan that allows for the most common ground over the quickest or the most efficient. This type of planning works best in temporary projects or pilot programs that must prove their value to find a more long-term commitment. Also, if aspects of the program do not work, those changes can be evaluated regularly or stopped due to the short-term commitment. Transactive planning is more about the relationship between the parties affected by the program. The planning approach focuses on in-person or face-to-face discussions as much as possible. Transactive planning aims to find a consensus on problems and solutions within the program planning process.
I think that transactive planning is the most utilized and most effective within my organization. I work in the affordable housing field and much of what we do requires a lot of collaboration with different departments. Some aspects of our plans are laid out to us by HUD; however, oftentimes, within the services department, we are able to implement programs that work for the individual communities and the residents’ needs. For example, I am currently working on bringing physical therapy programs into a few of our communities with an outside therapy company. I have had to bring together both services, operations, asset management, compliance, and finance departments to ensure that our program implementation has the support of all departments. The collaborative approach was required to ensure that everyone was on board and could have their input on the program. We have even had to make adjustments to the program in individual communities due to those specific needs. In my line of work, transactive will be the predominant form of planning so that all voices are heard.

DISCUSSION 2 (Tameka) The two planning theories that relate to my current line of work are advocacy and transactive. Advocacy theory- assumes policy and planning are determined in the interest of a group. The role of the planner is to equalize the decision-making playing field and to advocate for a particular constituency group (Netting, et al, 2008). Transactive theory Is carried out face-to-face with people affected by decisions. Planners and participants engage in a process of mutual learning. Both expert knowledge and knowledge acquired through experience (Netting, et al, 2008) I work in long-term care, where the population is generally elderly. I work with a team, an interdisciplinary team (IDT). This team is responsible for developing a plan of care for each person in the facility. A part of this is collecting information from the residents. These care plans are person-centered, to help the person achieve goals set for them. Research has described the process of care planning involves a range of stakeholders (, Jeongwon et al,2024). Because I am a part of the social services department in our facility, we use both advocacy and transactive theories within our department. As our department is a part of the IDT, we also develop interventions for groups of residents in our facility that may have unique situations. These often involve research, and planning involving, other departments, residents, and families. Some of these situations result in learning experiences for all involved, a common example of this is when our department partners with other community programs to plan for residents to return to the community. We at times formulate plans involving special needs that are not part of our normal planning. This may involve new experiences. We apply these theories using the search conference model. We collect all the data, from all parties involved, putting the plan together for the best possible resolution.
