Lloyd Bullard of LB International Consulting, was contracted by The Episcopal Center for Children in July 2012, as a consultant. The task he faced was monumental – how to help an established and highly-regarded treatment center for emotionally troubled children respond to a corrective action plan imposed by a state education agency department. Essentially, the plan was to transform the program from a treatment model to a public school model. In hindsight, the department imposing the change was misdirected and poorly informed, and yet in order to maintain a positive working relationship and referral source, the decision was made to maximize the change that could best help the program and to minimize change that would not. Eventually, every aspect of the existing program was examined in one way or another, and every process and every relationship of one function to another was on the table. It was a program-wide upheaval to be sure, but one that needed to be done. Mr. Bullard orchestrated the efforts in a deft, determined and most effective manner. He understands social services organizations, roles, responsibilities and how best to employ a staff’s energy to initiate a level of change that would require everybody’s buy-in. To accomplish what he did while the classrooms were still operating, therapy sessions being conducted and the onslaught of daily crises with children and families, was clearly the work of a masterful person. Skilled, sensitive, thoughtful, effective, and with an unfailing passion, he was able to relate to everyone on staff. We were pleased to have Mr. Bullard with us during an unsettled time. His expertise and his guidance were invaluable, and I can recommend him without reservation.
