Appreciate your list.
The primary issue as...Angry -<br />Appreciate your list.<br />The primary issue as to the lack of ombuds stories, in my opinion, is this:<br />Ombuds people talk to themselves and not those who can make more programs which would lead to more stories. <br />The examples are too numerous to list, but the simple fact is this - too few people who matter know what organizational ombuds programs are and can do.<br />Until such time as the field chooses to take an active promotional approach - getting away from "do it yourself" program building to more rigorous and demanding standards for program creation and measurement - the creation of new programs and expansion of the field will fall to those few who do out reach every single day trying to create new programs.<br /><br />May 2015 be a very different year.<br /><br />All the best to all in 2015-<br /><br />John W.
