Service Group DecisionsMulkey
A. Apex – Have we identified everyone with a stake in the outcomes? Do we have the necessary range of expertise? Are we committed to taking effective action?
B. Base – Can we identify the important needs and related goals? What is the range of challenges that we can foresee? Can we get substantial and meaningful commitments of support?
C. Consequential – Are we prepared to deal with unanticipated problems? Are we resilient in attitude?

Operating Principles
Work is the primary integrating experience in American life.
Interdisciplinary professional teams can function as powerful allies.
“Effort” does not equal “ability”.
“Difficult” does not equal “impossible”.

The Interdisciplinary Approach
The Interdisciplinary Approach is based on collaboration (obtain releases of information).
Team members are expected to be skillful and up to date within their disciplines.
Team members engage systematically in role release.
![Page 5: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Role Release1. Provide team members with general
information about basic procedures and practices (psychiatric disorders, etc.).
2. Teach team members to use specific information to make service decisions (therapeutic principles).
3. Train team members to implement specific program procedures (job specific implications).

Communication with Team Members
The Employment Specialist assumes responsibility for pursuing an agenda to include planning, implementation, and problem solving.
The team process can be discussed and problems addressed as they arise, assisting in the development of a smoothly operating, integrated approach to service delivery.
![Page 9: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Communication with Team Members
Write down questions and concerns as they arise.
Record data on a weekly basis. Engage in group problem solving at team
meetings. Discuss program revisions at team meetings. Review each job seeker’s program monthly at
team meetings.

Clarify a Vision of Success
Support teams must help job seekers clarify a vision of the future (quality world).
Involve the job seeker in discussions including family and friends. The plan must be based on valid information. It is important to form a clear understanding of the client in terms of ideas, values, feels, fears, wants, beliefs, and hopes.
What are the dreams nightmares of this person? What do you and other professionals need to know to prevent these nightmares?
![Page 11: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Futures Planning Identify sources of support. How many
people can you identify around the client who provide some important form of support?
Send each one a letter asking them how they see the job seeker's future. They know this person well, and can provide insightful suggestions.
![Page 12: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Futures Planning Sit with the client and discuss what the
circle of support suggested. The client clarifies the information.
Get commitments from the support circle to help your client. Close collaboration of friends and family is required. People who care make a large difference.

Identify Quality of Life Outcomes
Brainstorm Quality of Life Outcomes from the client’s profile (self esteem, recreation, security, integration).
Prioritize the Outcomes. Through team consensus, narrow the list to 4-6.
Operationally define the outcomes (what would be an example of integration? …having a friend with no identifiable disability?)
Match the outcomes to possible employment opportunities (along with skill based compatibility).
![Page 14: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Identify Challenges Identify challenges to optimal employment
(staff, funding, transportation, interfering behaviors).
Brainstorm solutions (all solutions are considered by the team and creativity is encouraged).
Prioritize solutions for each challenge on the basis of feasibility, low to high.
![Page 15: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Write Action Plan Specify the activities, responsible persons, timelines, and
follow-up activities. Write objectives for each challenge.
The Service Team should meet regularly to follow the progress of the plan.
Example Objective:
Need Public Transportation not available in rural area.
Obj. Resolve transportation for short-term placement.
Who: Family Member, Case Manager
![Page 16: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Plan a Problem Solving Group
Example: client talks to self at work. Plan the Work Group to include
everyone who will be directly affected by the decision.
Include anyone who needs to have ownership in implementation of the decision.
![Page 17: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Define the Problem
Define the problem in observable terms. Make no assumption about the cause or
solution of the problem. Seek a clear consensus on the
question(s) to be answered. State questions in positive terms (how
can we keep the worker on task?)
![Page 18: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Generate Alternative Solutions
Maximize the range of dissenting opinions and new ideas.
Reinforce every opinion, no matter how unusual.
Disallow judgment or critical comments on any idea.
Allow only questions requesting clarification during this step.
![Page 19: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Choose an Alternative Do not focus on the “right” decision.
Make a decision only if on balance the benefits clearly outweigh the costs and risks.
Consider doing nothing as a valid alternative.
Act or don’t act, but don’t hedge or waffle.
![Page 20: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Implement Problem Solution(s)
Who needs to know and be involved in the solution? Family? Employer, Case Manager, etc.
What needs to occur and when?
Who does it?
Are the necessary skills and resources in place?
![Page 21: Forming Service Teams](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f56550346895dce374a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Evaluate Results Take action and learn from mistakes
View problem solving as an ongoing process, evaluate!
Use Management by Objective.
Recognize the value of laughing at our own mistakes.
Good decisions are made within multiple alternatives. Try again!
