K a u f m a n ' s O r g a n i z a t i o n a l El e m e n t s M o d e l ( O EM ) ( L i sa L le w e l ly n )
Kaufman and his colleagues proposed the OEM which uses a systemic approach to look at gaps in
performance. A main purpose of this model is to help us separate the means from the ends during needsassessment. There are 5 system elements including inputs and processes (the means or organizational efforts)and products, outputs, and outcomes (the ends, or the organizational results and societal impacts). Kaufman
and his colleagues point out three different result levels of each system (micro, macro, and mega), and theOEM helps us assess our needs at each level. We must always remember that needs represent a gap in
results, rather than a gap in the means -- in order to arrive at an effective intervention.
