HPO in Local Government works with Local agencies in a full range of organizational and management consulting services focusing on improving performance. As Organizational Development (OD) consultants, our ‘client’ is the total organization, not just the management team. Of course, the growth of an organization and the growth of the people in it, especially the management team, are inextricably tied. As such, we concentrate on individuals as well as the interactions between organizational units, people, customers, partners, and other stakeholders, and processes. We base much of our OD work on our High-Performance Organizations Diagnostic Improvement Model (HPODIM)© and on our Building High-Performance Organizations© seminar materials. This allows organizations to integrate new technologies and management initiatives within a context of performance management.
