Crookbarrow
Associates is a new initiative that brings together Process
Consulting and Communications Work. This website may usefully
be viewed in conjunction with www.epona-land.co.uk
The
Principal of Crookbarrow Associates is Janet Mackinnon
MA MSc. Her interest in Process Consulting began in the
early 1990s when she worked for a large firm of international
business and management consultants.
Process
Consulting is a term most often linked to the work of the
Edgar H Schein in the United States. Professor Schein uses
the expression 'Process Consultation'. However, Janet’s
interpretation of 'process' also draws upon its use by
Dr Arnold Mindell in 'Process Orientated Psychology' or
'Process Work' www.aamindell.net
Janet’s
involvement in Communications Work started in the mid
1980s with a number of campaigns around the issues of air
pollution,
conservation of the built and natural environment, public
transport and social housing provision.
A communications
perspective has been the touchstone of her consultancy
career.
In
bringing together Communications and Process Consulting,
Crookbarrow Associates aims to provide an innovative
and applied service for clients involved in area regeneration
and environmental conservation: whether as project
developers,
or stakeholders opposed to inappropriate/unsustainable
development.
The
work of Crookbarrow Associates may also be relevant
to statutory agencies seeking to make process improvements
eg. to the planning system. An example might be where
such
agencies needed to consider the introduction of new
mechanisms to enable more effective consideration of
development options.
