{Organizational Analysis}
.intro
{Using Type as Template involves analyzing type and the eight preferences against almost anything that an individual or organization does.  Trainers and consultants can apply type to their work when the client has the readiness and knowledge of type to look more deeply into their behavior and culture.  When considering this activity think about the client readiness assumptions, the assessment process, and the data collection and feedback to see if they fit the client's needs and capability.}
.one
{Client Readiness Assumptions:}
.onea
{The client understands typology and is open to hearing feedback in typological terms.}
.oneb
{Everyone who will be impacted by the work knows at least their four-letter type.}
.two
{Assessment Process:}
.twoa
{Interview the client considering the following questions:}
.twoa1
{What are the most pressing issues facing you in the next 12 months?}
.twoa2
{What behaviors are either hindering or facilitating resolution of these issues?}
.twoa3
{Can you associate any type-specific letters with the issues?  For example, our decision making is completely impersonal (T) and not sensitive to personal considerations (F).}
.three
{Feedback and Next Steps:}
.threea
{Look for typological issues that surfaced as themes.}
.threeb
{Look for type dynamics among the participants.  For example, all of these points were made by SJs.}
.threec
{Prepare a feedback report to the client that reiterates these issues typologically and offers suggestions for how to move forward and address them.  For example, a theme of tension over whether or not the organization needs to be more or less structured in its work could lead to a suggested afternoon workshop about J/P issues and the analysis of policies and norms that help the organization get its work done most effectively.}
