announced today that it is part of the team led
by Colleague Consulting, which was awarded a five-year
Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
subcontract worth up to $US11 million with the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The contractor
team will work with the IRS to create a high-performance
organization by assisting the department in identifying
and addressing key organizational
development issues, including workforce
change management, transition assistance, strategic
and operational planning assistance, conflict
management assistance, and leadership
coaching assistance.
"We look
forward to supporting the performance of the IRS
through improvements in strategy, change management,
department coordination and communication, and
departmental design," says Michael Cook
of prime contractor, Colleague Consulting. "ICF’s
training and professional development skills complement
those of Colleague Consulting, ensuring that the
team can effectively manage and advance the IRS’s
organizational effectiveness."
"ICF’s
seasoned professionals will help ensure that IRS
leaders and employees are aligned with the agency’s
goals and organizational objectives to help improve
performance and
overall customer and taxpayer satisfaction," says
Peter Bonner, senior vice president and expert in human
capital strategies at ICF.
This contract reflects the expanding government-wide
emphasis on increased accountability and organizational
effectiveness. The program management experts
will work with the IRS to address agency impediments,
including the impact of workforce transitions
caused by mergers and restructuring, conflict,
and cultural issues. The team will identify effective

between decision-makers and customers.
