The Group has a diverse range of consulting experience. We:

• facilitate direction-setting and decision-making groups,
• conduct needs/outcomes analyses,
• develop strategy and policy,
• help write proposals/business cases, and
• develop business plans.

Most of this work involves career development, human resources or leadership issues, but we’ve been known to move into other territories as well (e.g., safe injection sites). Some recent examples follow:

• International Symposium on Mobile Learning – facilitation of a symposium on advances in mobile learning, resulting in a research agenda for mobile learning
• Management Services for Charities Business Plan - a study comprised of a needs analysis and business plan for a service that would assist charities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and the Yukon. Commissioned by the Muttart Foundation (www.muttart.org), the study involved literature and Internet research, interviews and focus groups as well as an examination of similar models in the United States.
• Career Development Strategy for Buffalo Trail School Division, a strategy for integrating career development into an entire school division.
• Strategic Scenarios for Alberta Federal Council, involving facilitation of a two-day retreat among senior officials within the federal public service.
• Change Management for Public Works and Government Services Canada, a project that entailed designing and facilitating a two-day change-implementation session with approximately 80 regional managers.
