Strengths Company Information : Woman Owned Company Over 30 years of Human Resource experience between all consultants within the company Weaknesses Not enough resources to service all the companies requesting services Need more consultants to have the latest trending certifications with customized employee assessments Opportunities Become more nationally known for services available Ability to have remote learning for companies requesting training and development outside of local area if needed Threats Competition with other locally owned small businesses Not being able to keep up with all the new regulations from the pandemic OD issues and challenges in the organization and its relationship to business outcomes? What needs to change? Why? The internal consultants need to be more adaptable to traveling to the client’s locations for training and development workshops. The fear of being exposed to a virus or the flu is very real. Unfortunately, these conditions are not going to be reduced by a significant amount that will be improved with time. What are the perceived benefits of the change? What are the perceived disadvantages of the change? The perceived benefit of this change is that many times, it is much easier to build rapport and trust with a client if you can meet in person. So, convincing the current internal consultants that the benefits are significant may be challenging. The disadvantage may be that the consultant becomes ill with COVID after conducting a workshop at a client’s location. This could cause others within the organization to become ill. This may be very costly if multiple people are out sick because of exposure to the virus. How does the company and/or work unit handle change? The company would honor the concerns of a consultant that did not feel comfortable traveling to a client’s location. Any workshop that this consultant was to perform would have to be completed remotely with Zoom or Teams. Or another consultant would have to substitute the original consultant to conduct the workshop.
