The culture of an organization sets the context for everything else and influences outcomes ranging from engagement and safety to adaptability and innovativeness. To properly redirect culture, consultants must be able to differentiate between it (i.e., espoused values and behavioral norms) and such outcomes, as well as the factors that may be shaping it.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Understanding organizational culture and climate – There is a difference!
Strategic Directioning is both a reflective process to examine current results, practices and operations, as well as proactive actions to design strategy to shape the future. We help leaders build on the organization’s strengths to create the culture and climate, the behavioral conditions and work capabilities to which it aspires. Identifying the gap between the current state and vision, allows organizations to then define goals, strategies and action to advance toward success.
Organization of Character: A step-by-step methodology to bring simplicity, understanding, and clarity to an organization.
“Communities of integrity, discipline and value created by the stewards of human capabilities, resources and trust.”
-Kathy HaglerOrganizations of Character™ is an approach to designing, improving, and contributing to an organization. Every organization exists for a purpose. That purpose meets some need of others. Companies and institutions decide how they organize themselves to do the work necessary to fulfill that purpose. When companies decide that they are not satisfied with the means, methods and measures that characterize their work, Strategic Directioning is an effective way to improve the key elements outlined below. Organizational Character’s aim is the monumental organizational discovery of where you are headed (vision), who you are (mission), how you behave (core values), what you do and how you act (goals and strategies) to reach the organization vision. It is a way for individuals to work together to create something of value. It creates an awareness of an organization’s culture, how the organization works as well as the ways in which it’s people think and interact
