OUR PROCESS

Source One Organizational Consulting does not bring you packaged solutions based upon the latest fad. Rather we begin with an careful and comprehensive organizational assessment in order to apply the right solutions to the actual problem. We have the expertise to ask the right questions to get at the real problems so that we can deliver the right solutions.

The focus of our assessment are the four organizational pillars: People, Processes, Structure, and Values. People

Source One Organizational Consulting knows that appropriate follow-up is critical to organizational success.

1. Assessment of Issues – in confidential interviews with the consultants, staff have the opportunity to share their feelings and views about such areas as interpersonal relationships, effectiveness of communication, effectiveness of processes, skills and style of leadership, quality of physical environment, quality of tools and equipment, etc. Each interview takes approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours. All participants are asked the same questions. Advanced preparation for these interviews is not needed and participants do not need to bring anything to the interview (except for their candid thoughts).
2. Review and summary of findings – the consultants review interview forms together. Consistent themes and trends in the comments of interview participants are noted.
3. Writing of report of findings and recommendations – based on interview comments, a report of findings and recommendations is written.
4. Report to administrative group – the group or individual who originally requested the OE activity meets with the consultants to hear findings and recommendations. A written report is provided to this group or individual.
5. Report to entire group – the consultants meet with everyone in a group setting who participated in interviews. Findings and recommendations are shared. Participants normally receive a copy of the written report.
6. Action planning – the consultants meet with the administrative group (and others if appropriate) to plan activities to address issues found during the assessment phase. Activities are planned based on report findings and recommendations.
7. Conduct activities to address issues – a variety of activities may be conducted to address major issues identified during assessment interviews. These activities may include: staff retreats to establish or refocus mission, behavioral style assessments, conflict mediation training and activities, skill building in a variety of areas, identification of core values and establishment of interactive ground rules, and individualized management coaching. These activities are generally conducted over an extended period of time, with order based on priority of need.
