App Profile: Organizational Development App

Organizations are made up of people; therefore organizations will develop and change constantly, with or without the input and guidance from leadership. Continuous development occurs as a natural byproduct in the evolution of every organization. It will either be guided by a deliberate leadership strategy, or if ignored will occur on its own, and likely not yield desired results.

Assessing and developing organizations are tasks frequently avoided or overlooked by leader-ship. Oftentimes, their importance is overshadowed by what is considered the real work of day-to-day operations, or leaders just don’t know how to tackle them. Until someone invents an autopilot function for an organization, the leader's role will always be like that of the pilot: making continuous adjustments to the aircraft to safely navigate from departure to destination. Like the pilot maintaining airspeed, altitude and heading, and keeping the aircraft in balanced flight, this tool in the hands of an experienced leader will provide a focus on the organization’s strategy, structure, people and leadership, and describe how to maintain organizational balance. The Organizational Assessment & Development Tool was designed specifically for senior leaders, but can benefit experienced leaders at any level who preserve the integrity of this tool, and accept and act upon the outcome of the analysis. It will reveal where you need to make adjustments, and help you determine how to make those adjustments with the specific purpose of achieving your organization’s bottom line objectives.
