Ideas for abbreviating staff time in service profile processes: <br /> - Elimate the orientation <br /> - Take out the practice session of the orientation (do first part, then move directly into the real <br /> system map) <br /> - Before doing system map, interview the service lead and do a draft to refine with the group <br /> - Look in the WAD for key programs that might be core processes <br /> - Put in supporting processes that are common to all (such as budgeting, staffing) <br /> - Present an array of system measures from research (there may be a professional norm) and let <br /> group pick from among choices presented <br /> - Do gaps simultaneously with the system map and trends and conditions <br /> - Do outcomes with mission <br /> - Present group with mission statements from other organizations who perform same service <br /> - Present group with a handout of samples of operating principles and have them pick <br /> - Research professional associations for their operating principles (group might adopt those) <br /> - Find trends and conditions from Eugene Decisions process <br /> - Find trends in professional publications <br /> - Designate 2 -3 key people to interview for strategies and do a draft map (ask about objectives <br /> at the same time) <br /> - Pull work activities off the WAD <br />
