***1. SERVICES OFFERED***

[Stoneturn Consultants (STC)]{.smallcaps} offers to perform work under
the following Special Item Numbers: SIN 874-1; SIN 874-2; and SIN 874-3.

***1.1 Consulting Services (SIN 874-1)***

[Stoneturn]{.smallcaps} areas of expertise:

-   Needs assessment, including organizational needs

-   Strategic planning, including mission statements, goals and
    objectives

-   Policy analysis and report preparation

-   Leadership development

-   Management systems, including subcontracting

-   Performance measurement, audits, evaluation and reporting, including
    GPRA

-   Problem solving and corrective actions

-   Organizational development, including start-up of new programs, and
    rejuvenation of existing programs

STC helps clients with organizational planning and management review, to
create and maintain high performance operations. This begins with
strategy: data and other analyses to define policy needs or
opportunities; formulating mission statements, setting realistic goals
and objectives, and developing performance measurement and reporting
systems. The second step is infusing organizations with leadership and
sound management. We help leaders motivate their organizations, and
managers keep operations on track. The third is continuous performance
monitoring, evaluation, analysis and corrective actions. We thrive on
problem solving, helping start new programs and rejuvenating stale
programs.

STC has a special focus on helping clients create efficiency through
synergy. We help recognize the potential for realizing multiple
objectives with a single program investment, and increasing program
value by finding ways to help individual projects working together. And,
we find ways to better define program outputs so that impact measures
are maximized.

***1.2 Facilitation Services (SIN 874-2)***

[Stoneturn]{.smallcaps} areas of expertise

-   Identify key stakeholders/change agents/opinion leaders

-   Facilitate staff, customer and public buy-in

-   Conduct internal and external focus groups

-   Plan and organize conferences and meetings

-   Mentor staff entering into senior management and leadership
    positions

-   Teambuilding and motivation

-   Diffuse conflicts and resolve disputes

STC helps clients by supporting mission objectives and facilitating
change. Strategy has limited value if the groundwork to obtain agreement
from staff and customers (including superiors) or the public is not
carefully prepared. We help clients build consensus around established
strategies, and we also help clients get feed-back and ideas from staff
and customers. And, we specialize in diffusing conflicts at early
stages, including through non-adversarial dispute resolution.

***1.3 Survey Services (SIN 874-3)***

[Stoneturn]{.smallcaps} areas of expertise

-   Survey strategies

-   Quantitative and qualitative surveys

-   Sampling strategy

-   Data analysis and report preparation

methodologies, identify appropriate sampling frames, analyze results,
prepare reports, debrief and recommend follow-up actions. We have a
special interest in stratified sampling and drawing valid findings from
non-representative or limited samples.
