Richardson, George P. with David F. Andersen, John Rohrbaugh, William Steinhurst, "Group Model Building", 1992
ua435
Ongoing research in the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and policy is focusing on strategies for efficient and effective model building in groups. The intent is to involve a relatively large client group in the business of model formulation, not just conceptualization. Recent projects have explored strategies for accelerated group model building in the context of two public policy problem areas: the burgeoning cost and caseload of foster care in New York State, and recent unexplained increases in Medicaid costs in the state of Vermont.Five roles appear to be essential to support effective group model building efforts. We term the five roles the facilitator, the content coach, the process coach, the recorder, and the gatekeeper. This article identifies the five roles, briefly overviews the two problem areas, sketches the design of the group model building efforts, outlines the apparent results, and hypothesizes principles and strategies to guide future group modeling efforts.
