- Description
- The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management, Office of Human Capital and Corporate services (EM-71) has a requirement for a consulting project that will help EM develop a greater understanding of the X-Team model and the challenges associated with running X-Teams, provide coaching to existing teams, and help top management to support X-Teams within the organization. The Government intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to LXT Group, LLC. The period of performance for this award will be from April 14, 2011 through April 13, 2012. The consulting project will include six days of consulting during the 2011 calendar year with work covering: 1) coaching of existing EM X-Teams; 2) working with senior leaders on how to support the existing X-Teams and 3) leading 2 one-day workshops on the 4- leadership Capabilities, X-Teams, and distributed leadership models. The 2 one-day training sessions will be conducted for a maximum of 60 DOE-EM HQ and Field Sites supervisors and managers. The class will be a combination of lecture, active discussion and classroom exercise. The coaching segment of the project will involve a one day meeting with each team separately to assess progress towards achieving the established team goals and to create a plan for how to move forward. Work with the senior leadership team will begin with individual interviews to determine senior management goals and assessment of the current set of X-teams. The data, combined with the data provided by the X-teams, will determine the content of the intervention with senior management. The consultant on X-Teams, Ms. Deborah Ancona, was chosen because of her pioneering research into how successful teams operate. Her research has led directly to the concept of X-Teams as a vehicle for driving innovation within large organizations. Her book, ?X-teams: How to build teams that lead, innovate, and succeed? was published by Harvard Business School Press in June, 2007. Only Deborah Ancona, who developed the concept of X-Teams, authored the book X-teams: How to build teams that lead, innovate, and succeed, and trained EM executives at MIT can provide additional training, coaching, and guidance in effectively running and supporting the EM X-Teams. The cost for the consulting project is $48,000.00 for up to 60 DOE-EM HQ and Field Sites supervisors and managers. In accordance with Competition in Contracting Act, 41 USC 253 [c] [1], as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, other than full and open competition is authorized when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements. This is a notice of intent and no solicitation is available for this requirement. Interested parties may submit capability statement and rationale by April 14, 2011 at 9:00am EST via e-mail to kyle.martel@hq.doe.gov. The written response must include a general statement for services mentioned in this announcement and past performance client information for similar work. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement.
