Systems

unless it is driven by a well-defined and planned strategy.

Corporate
Learning Council to assess,

been key in assisting O.C. Tanner as it moves towards a high
performance organization utilizing teams and lean production practices.
Ms.
Barlow has
significant experience in coordinating the human aspects of major
IS transformations, such as SAP

needed

coordinating all aspects of organizational
surveying. From design to
administration to analysis, Allison has created assessments that
determine organizational needs and evaluate the effectiveness of
corporate initiatives.
