Is your company considering undergoing organizational changes with the intent of achieving greater business alignment and operational excellence?
Below we describe a typical work plan and estimates of corresponding time requirements for a typical reorganization. Depending upon specific circumstances, more or less time may be required. All components of the process are inter-related and a successful reorganization is dependent upon the components being properly integrated in a coordinated approach.
Recommendations
Leading Visions recommends that a culture and organizational effectiveness assessment be conducted through a series of interviews and focus groups for successful integration of new leadership, company values, and customer needs.
The proposed solution is based on change management models where company values are confirmed, customer needs are identified, and the organization gains focus to deliver results.
Benefits
The primary advantages of this approach are:
- Leverages experience of skilled coaches and consultants
- Provides a stream-lined approach which allows for efficient timing for data gathering and analysis efforts
- Enables additional levels of safe discussion with managers and employees to encourage sharing and innovation
- Centralizes the data gathering process for consistency and full understanding
- Supports current leadership to strengthen positive influence on their teams
- Appropriately integrates activities with existing leadership team to encourage buy-in and support for feedback as well as possible resultant process/organizational changes
- Dramatically reduces unintentional bias by providing a safe and comfortable channel to collect candid, unfiltered, anonymous, and well-intentioned feedback
