Case Study: Strategic Planning and Facilitation
Client Context:
The Office of Smoking and Health (OSH) within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) has four major goals: prevent initiation of tobacco use among youth and young adults, promote quitting among adults and youth, eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke, and identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. In alignment with the fourth goal, OSH is developing a new Surgeon General Report on Smoking and Health Disparities and a strategic plan focused on commercial tobacco-related health disparities and achieving health equity.
Scope of Services:
KLS&A is providing strategic planning and facilitation services by providing organization development and design, application of systems change, change management, and strategic planning principles. We are designing and leading the facilitation of workshops, providing consultation, and supporting strategic decisions.
Outcomes:
As a result, KLS&A has provided the OSH with a plan of attack accompanied by the ability to monitor initiative performance through measures that address the disparities identified in the health equity study.
