Blending our skills with our passion to make a difference in our community.
The Community Consulting Project (CCP) provides OD consultation to non-profits in our area by bringing together dynamic teams of our members to provide this service to organizations that might otherwise be unable to afford this kind of support.
Since the 1990s, our organization has served over 120 non-profits in our area.
We are able to provide this service to the community by bringing together dynamic teams of our members who provide OD consultation to these organizations that might otherwise be unable to afford this kind of support. Utilizing volunteers from our network, we form Consulting Teams of 2-4 individuals, backed by an experienced Senior Consultant with 10-20 years of consulting experience.
CCP consulting teams work with a client to complete an appropriate client project. After a successful short-term project, we sometimes choose to work intensively with a non-profit client for a 12-18 month period. These are typically larger non-profits, able to pay low-bono rates, who seek more transformational work and meet our selection criteria. In these cases, multiple teams may address a variety of interrelated issues to produce wholistic changes.
Purpose – Why Are We Doing This?
With this program, we seek to share the values and skills of the OD field with organizations in the community who might need it. This program provides an opportunity to meet two important goals:
- Increase community awareness of the value of OD in enhancing the success of organizations.
- Provide opportunities for OD professionals to learn, to network, and to serve.
The Community Consulting Program represents a WIN-WIN for our association, our members, and our community.
