U -- TRAIN LIBRARY TRAINERS IN FACILITATIVE MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTION SOL IN97C-8 POC Ruth Nelson, Contracting Officer, 202-707-8610. The Library of Congress intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Interaction Associates to provide training for its management staff in the Seven Practices of Facilitative Leadership. Interaction Associates will train four to six trainers, provide training material for approximately 500 supervisors, and assist with training as required. The Library is in the midst of implementing a dramatic new Management Improvement Plan in conjunction with a GAO audit as directed by the agency's Oversight Committee. It is imperative that supervisors receive this training so as to not adversely impact the Library's management improvement efforts. Interaction Associates is uniquely qualified in that its off-the-shelf training product accomplishes all of the following: creates breakthrough learning in the workshop environment; provides a set of proprietary, interactive, and interrelated models which have been successfully applied for maximizing involvement in decision making, enhancing collaboration and buildinggroup agreement; focuses on reducing the cycle time of collaborative problem-solving efforts; reconciles neutral facilitation and results-oriented leadership; provides frameworks for leaders to move groups from an issue to concrete results; and concentrates on group as well as individual competency without modification or tailoring. Interested parties may identify their capabilities to respond to this requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all information received within thirty (30) days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete the 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 procurement.
