All: Sounds like we need some policy folks to retire and then consult!
;-) We finally got our first snowfall...now the countdown to spring can begin. Enjoy your week! -Eunice at Ohio State From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christine Tata Sent: Monday, November 17, 2014 9:27 AM To: Institutional policy-related discussions; [email protected] Subject: RE:[acupa-l] Policy Consultants Lisa, For our research and contracting compliance policies, we had a similar situation to the one Michele describes. Very smart and energetic consultant who may have provided good operational guidance but nevertheless did not provide usable policy material. Same story - he did not have a sense for our policy style or focus, and did not see how the policies he was generating would fit in with the rest of the Handbook. That said, I must emphasize this was an SME who was tasked with writing a policy. I believe the outcome would have been entirely different if the consultant were a policy consultant - one who knew to analyze a policy on policies, knew how policies must fit together, and who knew the difference between revising and documenting operational processes and details and actually writing policies at the institutional level.
