Abstract:

Successful and positive ABA companies are built on a strong foundation of intentional Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) design, mutual respect, shared mission, and passion for clinical quality. As the business of behavior analysis is rapidly changing and evolving, this solid foundation must be reinforced to ensure all aspects leading to success. This panel is focused on sharing perspectives, offers research to practice recommendations, and includes operational strategies for building successful service settings and experiences in the field of behavior analysis to improve clinical as well as business outcomes (Luiselli, Gardner, Bird and Maguire, 2021). The panelists will describe how company cultures focused on alignment of company mission and collaborative vision are utilized to improve outcomes. This foundation is imperative to build collective morale and improve employee retention. Ideas will be shared on how to marry OBM practices and clinical knowledge along with business operations to support teams of clinicians and the management systems used to support employees to produce best outcomes for the individuals served. Finally, the panelists will discuss the successes as well as the setbacks, including lessons learned during the pandemic, that have helped shape their leadership styles and management systems.
