Students are encouraged to consider agency service gaps based on their observations of program and resource allocations in the context of the agency’s mission statement. Agency change activities usually require that resources be shifted within the agency, so that some programs receive less while others receive more, or that other service gaps cannot be addressed.
Answering the following questions can also be helpful in this process:
• Will my change activities improve resources and service availability?
• What specifically will be changed?
• Are these resources (for clients) considered to be essential by a majority of administrators?
• How will the changes affect the total supply of agency resources and services?
• What can be predicted about the short-term and long-term impact of the proposed change?
• Who will be indirectly affected by the changes (such as staff and clients from other programs or even other agencies)?
