CASE STUDY

Accountability Counts

Situation

The leaders of a government Utilities Department were having difficulty with their strategic planning initiatives. They had a solid vision and mission but were looking for assistance with strategic and tactical planning as well as follow through and ownership of the initiatives.

Solution

This group required someone to facilitate a process by which they could brainstorm and pinpoint specific goals, then implement them with a detailed action plan. Monique worked with the Director to customize content for a series of half-day sessions.

During the sessions we:

Created a trusting & open environment for brainstorming using role plays and ice breakers
Tied short and long term goals into existing vision and mission statements
Utilized a customized tool to document goals, actions, deadline dates, and ownership of initiatives

Results

The group left with 25 documented action plans addressing short and long term departmental goals. A previous vendor left them with a long list of brainstormed items that gathered dust in a drawer.

The owner of each action plan was assigned an accountability partner.

Eight weeks later 75% of the actions had been completed, saving the department an estimated $52,000 in labor, training, materials, and rework.

What Clients Say...

Monique is a knowledgeable and engaging facilitator. She developed a curriculum of leadership topics that were well received by our academy students. It was obvious to me that Monique has a tremendous understanding of adult-learning principles and I plan to use her as a resource for future initiatives.

I had the pleasure of working with Monique at the Self-Employment Loan Fund (SELF), a non-profit organization that promotes entrepreneurship as a solution to poverty. Monique was one of the first consultants we hired as we expanded this program in the high schools. She later took on an additional role as instructor for our adult Business Plan workshop. The passion and commitment that Monique brought to our programs made her a great addition to the SELF team. She not only brought with her a background in entrepreneurship as a business owner herself, but also a commitment to our clients from her background in coaching and consulting. We were very thankful to have Monique on our team when we later revised the workshop curriculum, as her thoroughness and strong business knowledge were a tremendous asset.
