RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Resolution No. dool- by authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with
Integrated Change Strategies for organizational development services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In March 1996 the City of Carlsbad held its first Futuring Conference - an event where a
diverse mix of 120 employees came together to examine the future of the organization, and
to identify ways to make the organization even more responsive to the needs of the citizens,
Council and customers. The 1996 conference began with the group adopting the mission,
vision, and values statements that focused the energy of the group, and ended with the
identification of a number of strategic initiatives that have been implemented during the past
five years. Recommendations focused on improving communications, enhancing employee
excellence and modifying internal systems and structures. In addition, the conference
focused attention on technology, fiscal health and customer service needs. Results of the
conference ranged from the development of the Experience Carlsbad and Customer
Service programs to the construction of the Faraday Center. The Experience Carlsbad and
Customer Service program focused on sharing the city’s culture, beliefs and dedication to
customer service with both new and tenured employees. The Faraday Center was
designed to offer one-stop shopping for most city services and to improve internal
communications
The staff is now planning the second futuring conference for April 4 and 5, 2001. The goals
of this conference will be to revisit and reaffirm the organizations mission, vision and values,
and to identify the ways to continue and improve the staffs ability to deliver services to all
those who live, work and play in Carlsbad.
Staff is asking the Council to approve the hiring of an organizational development
consultant to assist with the design and delivery of the futuring conference. The process of
putting together a conference of this size and scope is significant, and although a number of
staff people will be intimately involved in the conference activities, the services of an
organizational development expert is needed to assure that the conference is a success.
Proposals were requested for consulting services related to the conference and three firms
responded offering a wide range of services. Jean Katz Consulting proposed a strict Future
Search process (a very structured and rigid approach to this type of project). Although the
Future Search process is widely used, after reviewing the Future Search structure the staff
believed that the lack of flexibility in the conference design would not be a good fit and
would be in conflict with the more open and inclusive approach Carlsbad had adopted with
the design of the last conference.
PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. 16 J Ogd
A second proposal was received from Organizational Systems International (OSI) which
combined hands on facilitation with the use of “board room technology” as a decision
making tool. This system would use a number of computers and sophisticated software to
collect and collate information from conference participants. Although the use of a
technologically based approach was interesting to the committee, the committee again
believed that greater flexibility and more personally engaging approach was needed to
reach the goals of the conference.
The final proposal was received from Integrated Change Strategies (ICS). This proposal
suggested using a modified Future Search approach that would be molded by the
conference committee and the consultants during the months prior to the Futuring
Conference to meet our needs. This more flexible approach was most attractive to the
committee. Preliminary work with the representatives of Integrated Change Strategies (ICS)
has shown that the more flexible approach will result in a Futuring Conference that meets
our needs, will include and engage a large segment of the workforce, and will be a catalyst
for activity in the coming years.
Although both the Katz and OSI proposals were initially priced in the $24,000 range, the
estimated consultant effort dedicated to conference development and pre-conference work
by both consultants was felt to be insufficient to guarantee a successful conference. In
addition, both Katz and OSI were suggesting conference sizes below that anticipated by the
staff. Additional facilitation assistance required under either proposal would bring the final
cost of these proposals closer to a total cost of $30,000. The total cost under the Integrated
Change Strategies proposal is $30,312.
Staff is recommending that the Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor
to execute an agreement with Integrated Change Strategies (ICS) to act as the City’s
organizational development consultant for the Futuring Conference project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds necessary to support these costs are available in the Administrative Services
Special Projects budget. No additional appropriation is necessary at this time.

Integrated Change Strategies for organizational development services.

FUTURING CONFERENCE II
CITY OF CAFUBAD, CALIFORNIA
Request for Proposal October 24,200O
For Organization & Facilita$ion of a Futuring Conference
for the City of Carlsbad Municipal Corporation
Backmound
$ :*:s c a ‘4 .,. i In March 1996,120 employees representative of the City of Carlsbad participated in a 2-day
Futuring Conference which produced statements of organization Mission, Values and Vision and
a consensus on six Strategic Initiatives that would move the City toward its envisioned future in
the year 2001.
In the five years since the Conference, cross-sectional employee teams have designed and helped
implement programs and processes realizing many, if not most, of the objectives envisioned for
the six Strategic Initiatives. In addition, the City has implemented goal-focused performance
management and compensation and begun to put in place a new performance measurement
system.
On the eve of 200 1, the milestone envisioned by the 1996 conferees, a consensus has emerged
within the City organization to convene a second Futuring Conference focusing on the next five
years within the first quarter of the new calendar year. Two managers, who share presentation of
the Conference as one of their annual goals and a cross-sectional group of employees drawn
from the City’s five Major Service Areas, will partner with the external resources in the design
and rollout of the conference.
Although the first Conference design was very successful, the City does not wish to repeat it
without considering other alternatives for the 2001 event.
Rewest for Prouosal S-$! 3 The City of Carl&ad is inviting qualified parties to submit proposals for the design and
facilitation of Futuring Conference I. to be held in the first quarter of calendar year 200 1.
Designs proposed should address the following:.
. /9
Goals of the Conference
l Reaffirm the Mission, Values & Vision
l Acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of the past five years
l Translate the Vision, Mission & Values into a vivid portrait of Carlsbad in 2006
l Define strategies to sustain and/or accelerate the City’s movement toward its
envisioned future
Goalsfor the Conference Process
l Reinforce and expand Carlsbad’s participatory culture
l Expand employee investment in the City’s Service Mission.
No other design parameters are being prescribed at this time.
Proposals should specify recommendations for conference duration and number of participants
and identify significant resource requirements, including contractor fees, and the expected
division of labor between the contracting party and the City.
A sample of the Agreement for Professional Services that the City will require to be executed in
order to initiate this engagement is attached for reference. Also supplied is information from the
1996 Futuring Conference.
For further information, please contact Marilyn Strong at (760) 434-2830 or
