Cutback management does not mean that your own budget or that of your programs need to be decreased; reorganizing for turbulent times can mean the "leaner and meaner" organizations which grew to address the challenges of the 1980s! As succession from the baby boomers occurs, new management can begin to learn the storehouse of knowledge which even "the feds" believe may be lost in the employee and management transitions!

ReplyDeleteWarnings: Cash for care schemes in areas such as "psychiatry, behavioral sciences" begin with groups not always in support of disability benefits or who wish to have monetary benefits of their own or control of federal funds designated for individuals. In behavioral areas, cash may be used as a behavioral contingency which is "one of the worst ideas ever" at "controlled studies" involving individuals with long histories of drug use (13 years, mid 30s), in embedded networks, in police states, and for whom "the worry" is that non-contingent housing, shelter, relationships and basic life quality may need to be maintained.
