| Following
are examples of projects that DJA has undertaken
as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or consultant
to other companies.
U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services/Food and
Drug Administration/Center for Devices and Radiological
Health
DJA
is the Prime Contractor for a Records Management
project that focuses primarily on Document Conversion
wherein text and graphic images of existing documents
are digitized following a set step by step process
that includes preparation, document enhancement
pre-scanning, indexing and quality control.
These documents are then stored in the agency’s
internal system for storage and retrieval.
The converted documents are indexed according
to the agency’s specifications.
U.S.
Department of Labor
As prime
contractor, DJA supported the Employment and Training
Administration's Job Corps program-the nation's
largest and most comprehensive residential education
and job training program for at-risk youth. The
major goal of the program is to provide disadvantaged
youth with educational skills and vocational training
designed to prepare them for the workplace and
to supply employers and communities with well-trained
personnel. DJA was responsible for managing the
outreach and admissions process for the Washington,
DC area. Project staff raised awareness
about Job Corps, identified and screened eligible
program participants, and formed partnerships
with other government agencies and community organizations
to support the applicant referral process.
Texaco
Corporation
DJA served as the lead consultant to the Director
of Employment and Diversity to develop and implement
strategies that included the design and delivery
of a three-tiered training module for the CEO
and his management team, for senior and mid-level
management, and for the general employee population.
As an ongoing part of the process, needs assessments,
focus groups, management coaching and counseling,
policy and practice reviews, and 360-degree feedback
and team-building sessions were conducted. Other
efforts have included work with "Diversity Councils"
and review or development of leadership and retention
plans as well as the training of nearly 3,000
employees on workplace diversity issues.
CoreStates
As a subcontractor, DJA supported a systemwide
change effort that began as a diversity initiative
and was later expanded to include major organization
reengineering. Focus groups were facilitated;
specific training modules were designed and delivered;
and key employees were identified and placed into
newly created leadership development programs.
This work was part of the organization's continuous
improvement process.
GPU
DJA, under a subcontract, developed a management
assessment protocol for the Nuclear Division of
General Public Utilities (GPU). The tool was used
to evaluate leadership and diversity as part of
the company's annual appraisal process. Protocol
development required DJA and partners to solicit
input from senior GPU managers from across the
country through direct interviews and teleconferencing.
DJA applied insight gained to help managers understand
and become skillful in using diversity leadership
concepts during the product development process.
