Organisational Design and Development

Organisational Development is defined as “a planned process of change in an organisation’s culture through the utilisation of behavioural science technologies, research and theory” (Burke W, 1987). Put a bit more simply “Management has primary responsibility for creating a climate where employees are motivated to work willingly and effectively” (Lal P, 2003). This has traditionally been done through slow and incremental change, allowing change to bed in before new change is thrust on the organisation.

The Key Benefits of Workflow include:

Do you have work processes, that although work, are not efficient and add to your overheads? Do you have a workplace culture which is lodged in the past and may not have kept up with the changes being placed on your Business? Then change is necessary.

A way forward

Integration issues can present themselves when a Business is being acquired and it has a different culture. Also when a new product line is being structured and the intended customer audience has a different set of requirements in terms of responsiveness, quality, innovation, turnaround, etc...
