Welcome Government OD Practitioners!

Good Morning Government OD Network,As some of you may already know, Karl Hebenstreit with GSA has assumed the leadership role for the Chesapeake Bay Organization Development Network (CBODN) Government Special Interest Group (SIG). He will be setting up a new group here in GovLoop social network under the name CBODN Government SIG. Please be on the 'look-out' over the next couple of weeks so that you may continue to participate in the CBODN Government SIG events. I’ll send another follow-up note when it’s available so that you can join this group. CBODN is a great resource for OD Practitioners and I would highly encourage your continued membership with CBODN and participation in this SIG. The website is at URL: http://cbodn.org/services_programs/sigs/government.html

In the interim, I’ve done a lot of soul searching on my intention behind setting-up this Government OD Network. My intention has always been to share best practices and lessons learned in the government sector. This includes federal, state and local governments in the Human Capital and Human Resources functional areas. I’ve been blessed to have made some key agency contacts that have provided timely assistance and shared their internal processes. Through this social network, I’ve learned a great deal about what we are doing that works and where we can improve.So, I’d like to continue where we left off.

The main project underway in most of our federal agencies for Human Capital and Human Resources staff is the compiling of the 2011 Human Capital Management Report. OPM has made some major changes this year to the process. So, let’s start there.Let’s get together next week, on Monday, October 24, 2011 at noon to discuss our approach and see where we can best support each other through this HCMR process. Would please review your internal process and come to Monday’s con/call with the areas where you feel your agency is the strongest and those where you need the most support?

We’ll review the HCMR process, talk about our internal strategies in obtaining the needed information and putting the document together and see where we can best support each other through this process. Please send me an email and I’ll add you to the Microsoft Outlook Meeting Notification that provides the call in information.Thanks. Looking forward to reconnecting in our virtual world!

....though I do wonder how applicable it is to government and eager to hear your take on it.

What happens in an organization when you attempt to spark change? Does it stick or do people go back to doing what they did before the change initiative? Jack Gates explores the "Nuvo Quo" (as opposed to the status quo) in this post:  http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/nuvo-quo

New concept for organizational development - Adaptive Case Management.

Group members, I thought this may interest you. http://tinyurl.com/443nexl . The harsh reality is that the marketplace is not producing enough jobs despite government efforts. We must develop innovative strategies to bridge this gap. So what can be done to inspire employees and job seekers, increase employee morale and produce economic growth - Organizational Development interventions are a good place to start.

If you’re already familiar with the idea of Emotional Intelligence and would like to deliver EI feedback to your clients, then this course is for you. This program provides you with the opportunity to become accredited to use both our new Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI) and our renowned Emotional Competency Inventory (ECI). Through our partnership with Daniel Goleman we've designed a program for development and coaching professionals who want to help their clients (internal or external) become more effective colleagues and leaders.

The course includes everything we know about delivering Emotional Intelligence feedback in a nutshell. During the program you'll learn more about the concept of Emotional Intelligence and how to deliver feedback using the ESCI or ECI. You'll have to do some work before the course: reading to familiarize yourself with the idea of Emotional Intelligence and completing your own ESCI questionnaire. We're not going to teach you how to be a coach - we expect you to already have a good level of experience in delivering feedback. What this course will teach you is how to understand and deliver feedback specific to these tools.

 

Benefits of accreditation

  • Accreditation provides you with access to our diagnostics processing team who can support you in collecting data and producing ESCI or ECI reports for your clients.
  • Accreditation means you join our accredited network of practitioners who receive quarterly newsletters, articles on EI and you are invited to EI events.
  • Accreditation means that your clients, or organization, can have confidence that you are skilled in providing feedback in the competencies that impact business performance.

The Co-Chairs of the Chesapeake Bay Organization Development Special Interest Group (CBODN Gov SIG) seek your responses to our Future Directions of the Government SIG Survey.   The goals for this survey are to generate broader awareness of the SIG and to welcome participation at several levels:  presenting about your best practices, recommending speakers, and identifying your topics of interest for our events.  We also would like to gather some basic demographic information about our membership to further guide us in planning our activities.  Please take a few moments to strengthen the future of your CBODN Government SIG by clicking here to take this very short survey.

 

Sincerely,

 

Karl and Katie
