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which over time can become outdated, inflexible and resistant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.
Our Approach to Organizational
Change
LeadingWave's approach to organizational change and renewal is
to ensure that a company's mission and goals are clearly tied
to the external "environment" and that company culture,
mission and systems are fully integrated. Our aim, then, is to
help organizations achieve organization system harmony by-
1) Assessing the external environment
2) Revising company mission & strategy
3) Building a culture to support the mission
4) Linking managerial competencies to the culture
5) Using the defined competencies to revise
- recruitment systems
- training systems
- reward systems
- organizational structure
- feedback systems
