ORGANIZATION SYSTEM DISSONANCE

The Problem Facing Many Organizations
We believe organizations resist quick-fixes and management fads which often do more harm than good in redirecting organizational efforts. We view organizations as complex, integrated systems which over time can become outdated, inflexible and resistant to the need to change despite a rapidly changing world. It has been our experience that many organizations suffer from a malady we call organization system dissonance.

Organization system dissonance occurs when organizations ignore or dismiss changes taking place in the environment; when mission, strategy and goals become foggy and unclear; when company culture runs counter to organizational direction; and when human resource systems begin operating independent of each other and the real needs of the organization.

The symptoms of dissonance are many: departments or units wage war with one another, managers and employees are poorly trained, confusion about company mission and strategy exists, attrition increases, creativity and quality decline, sales and market-share plateau.
