As an
organizational
development
consultant,
Barbara is
devoted to
developing
organizations
and the people
in them through
planned change.
This includes
working with
individuals
(described in
the Executive
Coaching section
of this
website), teams
and large
systems.
The
organizational
development
consultant (OD
consultant)
can take a
variety of
approaches to
her role
ranging from
expert to
process
consultant. I
operate from
the process
consultant
model which
means that I
partner with
my clients to
identify
problems and
create
solutions. The
point of this
approach is to
leave the
client system
more capable
of diagnosing
and solving
its own
problems in
the future.
Rather than
foster
dependency, my
aim is to
foster
independence.
By its
nature, OD
consulting is
fresh and
unique to each
client
situation. If
you are
considering
engaging an
organizational
development
consultant,
below is a
sampling of
the kinds of
projects I
accept. I am
affiliated
with several
consulting
firms and have
access to a
network of
professionals
when projects
require
expertise
outside of my
own.
