Allenbaugh Consulting Process
Step 2: Planning
Following the assessment interviews with leadership, select staff, and key stakeholders, Dr. Allenbaugh typically prepares a report of his findings, including strengths, opportunities for enhancement, challenges, cultural norms, hopes, and concerns. These findings, together with your organizational knowledge and experience, provide a foundation for planning the implementation phase of the process. In this collaborative planning process, we typically identify or refine:
- What outcomes are we seeking to accomplish?
- Who needs to be involved?
- What content do we need to explore?
- What processes will assist us in achieving the desired results?
- What “deliverables” do we need to provide?
- How do we keep the organization development process relevant and viable for the long term?
By carefully planning in advance, we can “load the process for deliberate success” in achieving the long-term results you are seeking.
