SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
One of the 2019 Work Plan Topics was to develop a Vision, Mission and Values to guide the work of Town staff. Staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) on May 15, 2019 with the goal of finding a suitable facilitator to lead a collaborative process involving all levels of staff to develop a document that reflects the culture and commitment of Town employees to the Board of Trustees, to residents and to each other.
We received five responses to our RFP and completed interviews with the following four consulting groups:
Lundy Professional Development Services
CDR Associates
InitiativeOne
The Novak Consulting Group
After the review panel reviewed all proposals and completed interviews with the four firms listed above, the review panel’s unanimous decision is to recommend hiring The Novak Consulting Group to complete this project. Their complete proposal is attached to this agenda memo.
If the Board approves the resolution, staff will begin the process to set the timeline and tasks for this project. We expect the process will take 12-14 weeks and be complete by the end of 2019.
