Leadership Training:
Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Unit, Department of Health and Human Services

Senior staff conducted multiple facilitated meetings and leadership training efforts for the HHS Small Business Program Offices and Small Business Specialists (SBS) as part of the HHS Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Unit (OSDBU). Staff designed and developed all program material and resource handouts, facilitated multiple two-day seminars, and prepared a closeout report on seminar recommendations for follow-up actions. The sessions developed were focused on an organizational change strategy as the individual small business offices of subordinate organizations of HHS were consolidated into the HHS OSDBU. Staff developed an organizational change methodology that combined leadership training, staff and survey assessments, strategic planning, action planning, and group decision-making strategies in multiple seminars.
