Products for Organizations

1. Organizational Culture Change 

Organizational culture involves the long term values and practices that determine how staff interact and how they address the tasks and overall mission of the company. Changes are most often required when a fundamental shift has occurred inside the company or in the external environment in which it operates. This type of change may also be needed to capture a larger market share or dramatically improving productivity. 

In order to affect this type of change, key members of the organization need to assess how they interact with each other, as well as their customers and clients. These key staff will need to reflect on the organizational mission, its philosophy for doing business, procedures and policies that help or hinder productivity. The purpose of Organizational Culture Change process is to develop a set of practices, policies and procedures that when implemented consistently on a daily basis creates a corporate commitment to quality, excellence and customer satisfaction. 

This process involves collection of data, an analysis of the data with a presentation to key leaders and facilitation of action steps to implement changes. Follow-up data collection and workshops provide measurable benchmarks for culture change.

2. Strategic Plan Integration 

Companies expend valuable resources in the development of a strategic plan. The plan involves the expectations of key customers along specific timelines. It also represents a significant shift in core activities. It is important to maximize its effectiveness by implementing it with deliberate care and precision. Strategic plan integration services are designed for that purpose. 

Major changes require input from those who will be affected by them. While the input is important for plan development, its primary purpose is to produce a greater level of acceptance. Those that participate in strategic plan development have ownership and will put forth greater effort toward implementation. 

Strategic plan integration involves a customized assessment delivered to all employees providing an avenue for corporate involvement. A primary objective for gathering data is to find ways to shorten the product development/improvement cycle. Another critical component is developing a systematic method of gathering customer input. A thorough integration plan will establish a greater level of communication between sales, clients and R & D departments. It should also provide and clear, measurable targets to meet quality and time tables for product development, as dictated by corporate customers.
