With
companies, survivors and advocates all in the same room, we needed serious expertise
in designing the major planning session to launch our new organization. ICA Associates helped us put the whole enterprise on a very solid foundation.
I
make plans, hold meetings and conduct research using ICA’s methods of participation.
They are the best methods around to involve people in groups in making sense
of lots of information and making decisions about action. All
of our nursing staff regularly make use of ICA methods and techniques in programs
with colleagues and with the public. It makes them very effective in working
together with others.
In
only three days, we had a way for our managers to movethe entire organization
toward team-based operations, and an action plan to get it done. As
the new president of a large, complex health centre, I had to quickly get our
whole management team thinking along the same lines. With the help of ICA Associates,
it took only two days. I
am using ICA methods and tools all the time. I just finished facilitating a
strategic planning session with a community group, and the results were great.
We had ICA Associates
lead our strategic planning. It was so effective that we had them look at and
enhance all of our program planning and evaluation processes. | |||||||||||||
