Ombudsman SolutionsHelping the Office of the Ombudsman Become More EffectiveAn ‘ombudsman’ can be defined as someone who works to facilitate and ensure the resolution of issues that arise internally and externally. Ombudsmen are typically classified into two categories: Classical and Organizational. A Classical ombudsman is one that is usually created by legislation (statute or ordinance) and generally has the ability to investigate and report findings about complaints brought to their attention by members of the public. They evaluate complaints about government systems and attempt to find resolution remedies for issues uncovered during the course of an investigation. An Organizational ombudsman is one that is usually created by an executive head (Corporation President or CEO, Chancellor of a university, etc…) and generally works informally to help resolve problems within an organization. They typically do not issue investigative reports or assign blame but focus instead on constructive recommendations for change.
