Phase One: Evaluating the Consultation Process

Discuss: What is wrong with this consultant/consultee relationship?

The Disengagement Stage is characterized by the question “What do we need to take
care of before we say goodbye?”
1. winds down what was started up in the entry stage
2. consultant and consultee evaluate the consultation process
3. plans for maintaining the effects of consultation after the process is over;
 >Go through period of reduced contact
 >Make provisions for follow
 >Terminate the consultation
Evaluation - the systematic collection of information about the activities and outcomes of
consultation for the purpose of making judgments and decisions about how consultation is
proceeding and/or the effects it is having

Phase Two: Planning Postconsultation/Postcollaboration Matters

A period of reduced involvement is initiated. Follow-up procedures are enacted as well.
Reduced involvement refers to the gradual reduction in the involvement, which helps
prevent abrupt termination.
One method, FADING, helps reduce involvement by lessening the contact and
involvement with the consultee. (going from weekly to bi-weekly and so on)
Reduced involvement does not mean no involvement
Follow-up procedures can reduce the stress that comes with winding down
consultation.
Follow-ups allow for consultants to tweak things and to see how gains are being
maintained.
Recent research suggests the proper and effective follow-ups often include
performance feedback to the consultee.

Phase Three: Reducing Involvement and Following-up

Termination formally ends a process and ideally leads to a sense of satisfaction with
whatever has been accomplished.
As the termination process is begun, consultants should maintain awareness of their
need to be needed and avoid engendering dependence.
 This definite ending point can prevent unnecessary dependence on the part of the
consultee.

kepuasan terhadap suatu hal yang telah dicapai. ketika proses tersebut dimulai, seorang
konsultan harus membantu pengetahuan mereka akan kebutuhan untuk menghindari
ketergantungan yang muncul. Pada titik akhirnya adalah mencegah ketergantungan yang
tidak diperlukan dari pihak konsultan.
Phase Four: Terminating
Influences can have a strong effect on the disengagement stage, particularly the
evaluation of the consultation process the suitability of checklists or questionnaires
consultant and collaborators should be cautious about assuming what kind of evaluation
process is to be conducted and acceptable to consultees of differing cultural backgrounds
(Sheridan, 2000) perceptionscultural experiences ignoring cultural differences-risk
jeopardizes the current relationship as well as future consultations and is ethically
questionable .
Multicultural Aspects Related to Disengagement Disengagement
trans: suatu pengaruh dapat memberikan efek yang kuat pada tahap
"disengagement/pelepasan" khususnya pada proses evaluasi, konslutan harus terlebih dahulu
menyesuaikan data kuisioner. konsultan dan pihak kolaborator lainnya harus tentang asumsi
mengenai jenis evaluasi yang akan dilakukan dan diterima oleh konsultan yang memiliki latar
belakang budaya berbeda (sheridan, 2000) persepsi pengalaman dari antar budaya akan
mengabaikan perbedaan budaya yang berisiko membahayakan hubungan yang berjalan saat
ini yang akan kembali dipertanyakan pada masa yang akan datang.
