Intervention Skill Shop: Designing Interventions that Meet Client Needs

September 21–24, 2010, Greater Boston Area

Overview

Helping clients meet their goals and objectives is the primary work of the organizational consultant or business partner. We all know the old adage, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." As Consultants, Trainers, Facilitators, and Human Resource Business Partners, we are asked to help organizations move from where they are to where they want to be. There are 3 kinds of interventions: the ones you know best, the ones someone else designed, and the ones the client data actually calls for to address their concerns. This workshop focuses on how to design interventions that link theories, models, and concepts to client data and practical application. This is an experiential opportunity to learn how to form diagnoses from data and design value added interventions that meet client needs.

Objectives

Explore and develop interventions to work with issues such as power, influence, resistance, decision making, conflict, role clarification and communication;
Learn to assess real client data, what to look for and how to make meaning of it;
Design and deliver interventions that meet defined needs or expectations;
