Managing organizational change and development with a ramifying core value

Integrity

'Integrity' involves upholding uprightness, moral wholeness, transparency, and accountability in all transactions, interactions, and other steps taken in the management of organizational change and development. Your business interests, needs and circumstances should define how this is manifested and focused upon in the organizational development approaches, methods and tools being used.

Integrating values

Professionalism

What is the technical and professional forte of those leading the organizational development project? What is their expertise and how are they handling the project? They should have expertise in fostering effective synergy of people's actualizing attributes and integrating organizational facets in the process of total organization development.

There should be a commitment to facilitating the organizational development intervention to sustain a high-performing culture or the desired organizational change in your business. You should be able to count on the team to fulfill the commitmments they made to you at the onset of the intervention program.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness to changing facts and realities as an organizational development initiative progresses is key. Your team or the organizational development specialists should demonstrate sensitivity and responsiveness as they engage with your people.

Fostering agility

Innovativeness

Using a fresh pair of eyes to evaluate or assess organizational development challenges and opportunities your business faces so that it could move in the direction of desired organizational change, leadership, culture, and performance requires being imaginative and innovative—particularly taking advantage of organizational insights developed from thorough 'total organization' asessment or review—which incorporates review of the competitive environment and strategic vision. Such a step would inform—and be integrated with—the decisions about the organizational development solutions, approaches and technologies being adopted.

Versatility

Organizational development specialists should be well-informed about the field—and keep abreast of developments and changes in it—for agility and relevance. They should be renewing and upgrading their organizational development solutions and tools to serve their clients better even in discontinuous and extenuating circumstances. They should be able to adapt to your business needs and situation strategically. You could incorporate this core value of versatility in your organizational development team or when deciding on the organizational development specialists to engage.

Promoting technical relevance and a commitment to excellence

Excellence

The organizational development project should deploy the highest level of technical and service standards and solutions so that they effectively address what is at the heart of the organizational change and development initiative. The team of technical specialists should be the best for the issues they are dealing with and exercise high degree of technical fidelity. This way they would be positioned for technical relevance and better able to give you the best in their niche. This core value also incorporates aspects of responsiveness because being responsive to the facts and realities of the organizational systems and in the organizational development process is one way of demonstrating commitment to excellence.

Proactive collaboration and productive engagement.
