You want to talk with your consulting company to check if
the concept of using staff meetings might be a good way to involve the
organization in creating the questionnaire.
You also want to brainstorm any issues about the
facilitation of these meetings. If all agree that this method is the approach
to use, who should facilitate the meetings? Should the managers facilitate the
meeting? Should you personally facilitate it? Should it be the members of the
internal OD staff?
You have put the following on the agenda for the next review
meeting:
* Is statement A below a good way to generate the types of
information that could create the behavioral endpoints for a questionnaire?
* Would there be significant advantages to creating
meaningful and lasting change if we used managers or internal OD staff to
facilitate the meetings?
* What organizational factors would make this a
“bad” approach or one to avoid?
STATEMENT A:
One idea for generating definitions to the key values was to
use staff meetings–the intent being to use some mechanism such as force field
analysis to generate each area’s information and consolidate it across all
areas as a starting point. Our firm or the top management team (facilitated by
us) would use the consolidated information to create the overall questionnaire
for later use.
