How does GCC fix organizational problems?
Within the existing organizational framework (Bolman & Deal, 2013), GCC uses the Clark and Estes (2008) gap analysis framework to conduct a needs assessment of the knowledge, motivation, and organizational influences that support or impede the realization of the stated stakeholder goals and organizational goals.
The recommendations to achieve the stakeholder goals and organizational goals are planned, implemented, and evaluated using Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick’s (2016) New World Model. The New World Kirkpatrick Model is a seamless evaluation partner to the Clark and Estes (2006) knowledge, motivation, and organization, gap analysis framework. The Kirkpatrick four levels of training and evaluation are utilized in order to confirm stakeholders possess the knowledge, motivation, and organizational support to effectively accomplish their mission.
