What e-Change Can Mean to Your Organization

We live today in a world of "instant change", where a thriving business can stop growing or even become obsolete--seemingly overnight. Organization Development consultants help large organizations deal with this new world by opening up knowledge-sharing and making corporate cultures "Learning Organizations". Once people begin to share their knowledge, collective synergies begin to flourish.

By helping the OD Director increase organizational and team synergy, the OD Suite™ is designed to develop organizations in a series of leaps called the Synergetic Thresholds. Once all the teams--and the organization as a whole--have completed a series of development initiatives, the company will have attained the first Synergetic Threshold.

On the First Threshold, new approaches to communication, leadership and teamwork produce a marked rise in productivity as well as customer and job satisfaction levels. On the Second Threshold, advanced OD initiatives such as Matrix Management bring the organization up to an even higher level of synergy, innovation and productivity. Finally, in the leap to the Third Threshold, the organization becomes fully capable of innovating, of working as a matrix in the world of instant change.

In the OD Suite, face-to-face Team and Leadership workshops are augmented by a series of intranet exercises, simulations, quizzes and interactive assessments designed to bring the Development process online. An intranet area is provided so that Development has a virtual community participants can access no matter where they are located. This simple step changes the dynamics of workshop follow-up and implementation as we currently know it. Change and Development can now be ongoing! In a sense, the workshop never ends, with expert guidance always available.

Coaching and Personal Development are meanwhile taken online in the Coaching area, where participants learn from online workshops and simulations as well as online discussion groups that are support groups for new coaches. Web software helps coaches work with their assigned employees, create Development Plans and strategies for learning. Coaching is integral to full implementation of any effective Development effort, and bringing key parts of it online is an obvious step.

The end result? A highly productive Learning Organization!
