System Analysis and Solution Development
Analyze, recommend and solve. These are the steps. Simple steps for complex organizations. That’s organizational consulting.
As consultants we stand outside the system. At the same time, we observe and examine the intricacies of the organization to find the parts that work well and the parts that need repair.
As therapists, we know the value of observation and listening, and we know the danger of telling. So, we recommend and collaborate.
Some of the things we address as consultants:
♦ Organization
♦ Efficiency
♦ Communication skills
♦ Leadership
♦ Assertiveness training
♦ Problem solving skills
♦ Team building
♦ Conflict resolution
Each of these categories has many, many subcategories and sometimes we address the parts rather than the whole of an organization. At other times, organizations hire us for a specific role or to be a part of the organization itself in a specific way. Our consultation contract with Northwest Montana Head Start works like this.
