Groups, organizations, and departments often operate like a system, and there are times when systems don't function at their optimal level. Transitions, changes, differences in interpersonal communcation styles, etc., can all have an impact on how a unit functions. There are times when it is useful to consult with somebody outside the system to assess functioning and offer a more objective suggestion for improvement.
Consultations are brief and time-limited in nature.
Our consultants will meet with a representative from your organization to assess your needs and goals. In collaboration with you, we will identify the goals and outcomes you wish to obtain from a consultation with us. Any intervention strategies will be made in collaboration with your organization's representative, and implementation of such strategies will be a mutual decision between your organization and our consultants. After an intervention has been implemented, there is typically some sort of outcome evaluation to ascertain whether the goals of the consultation have been met. Consultation services are provied by senior staff members or advanced-level predoctoral interns.
