Change by Design is happy to announce that we have been engaged again by this highly valued client. For this project, they have asked us to deliver a set of eLearning modules focused on a clinical treatment called cognitive adaptation training (CAT).
Since late February 2021, Change by Design has been hard at work on behalf of a large Florida non-profit based in Jacksonville, Florida. One of the client’s main workforce issues has been an increasing lack of skills or mismatch of skills to the underlying culture of the organization. Business acumen and dealing with ambiguity are the hallmarks of many professionals, so correcting these cultural competency issues has become a major priority.
Welcome to the inaugural issue of Change By Design's newsletter, OOMPH! Because this is the first one, we wanted to make 100% sure that our readers didn't misinterpret the name. So: OOMPH isn't 00MPH (zero miles-per-hour). That wouldn't be very inspiring.
Instead, OOMPH represents impact measured one effective project at a time. Each month OOMPH! will present articles, ideas, and recommendations designed to help subscribers achieve greater organizational alignment. We strive to deliver timely, meaningful, actionable tools for business decision-makers, nonprofit leaders, government-focused professionals, and performance improvement practitioners. And we'll also be letting you know what's going on in our Change by Design world. This is an exciting moment for us, and we're hoping the newsletter is very useful to you.
Achieving meaningful organizational change requires you to understand context across multiple problems. It can include identifying internal and external factors, appreciating broader historical significance or momentum, and important consideration of the “people” and “system” involved.
For the past six months, Change by Design has been working closely with Tallahassee Chamber leadership to design and develop an elearning course on the Chamber Leads initiative. However, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the originally scheduled dates of the eLearning video shoot were pushed back from winter `to early summer.
A very active and dedicated Jacksonville non-profit recently recognized an internal need for improved organizational alignment. After a diligent review of current needs and consideration of vendors, the organization selected Change by Design to perform three key tasks on their behalf.
