Chapter 13 Organizational Consulting for Strategic Change in a Public School in Colombia Fernando de Yzaguirre 13.1 Introduction This chapter 1 showcases the consulting process for organizational change carried out in 2019 in a public school in Barranquilla, Colombia. The intervention involved all the 53 teachers and 4 management team members (three of whom were teachers as well as administrators) of the District Educational Institution Citadel July 20th, cited from now on as INEDIC school. There were two main aims in this consulting assignment. The first was to increase the teachers’ motivation to create processes of integration and collaboration among teachers. The second was to update, in a participative way, the strategic tool used by the school management: The Institutional Educational Project, cited from now on as IEP. This introduction to the chapter is divided into two parts. In the first part I discuss INEDIC, the public school, and then the management tool IEP which is the main focus of this consulting work. Part two describes how the sociology students were trained as clinical sociology facilitators and how they came to be involved in this consulting assignment. The second part takes into account that this consultancy is based on the socio-clinical innovative approach and interventional techniques devel- oped by many authors among them Gaulejac (2019), Fritz and Rhéaume (2014) and Yzaguirre and Castillo (2013).
