First
explore key organizational poise factors or organizational health/effectiveness factors to define and shape your organizational
effectiveness/health mandate!
If
you would optimize your business for organizational effectiveness
or facilitate total organizational health/poise for ultimate high performance,
what first steps would you take?.....A critical first step
is exploring, and
planning on, key facets of total organizational poise and organizational health/effectiveness based on an understanding of organizational poise/health factors or organizational effectiveness factors.
Exploring Organizational Health/Poise Factors for Creating Organizational Effectiveness
Total
organizational poise dictates the character of your organization
to sustain corporate excellence. It is integrated with overall
organizational health and effectiveness. Creating organizational effectiveness and health in the long-haul is predicated on exploring, understanding, and measuring factors of total organizational poise/health.
Facilitating
total organizational poise/health development requires paying attention
to and gaining insight on two operating terms: 'total' and
'poise'. 'Total' refers to all key aspects of the organization's
human and integrating systems on the one hand and all key
factors or elements of 'poise' on the other.
A
begriming step to exploring and understanding the various features
of poise is by considering synonyms and antonyms relating
to 'poise'.
You
can start the process in your organization by asking your people
a simple question: 'What are the key attributes of
a well-poised person?' You may then follow it up
with another related question: 'What are the key attributes
of a well-poised organization?'
Draw
up a list of poise factors based on the responses you got
on the two questions. You can also gain further insight by
reflecting on what the lack of poise represents.
What
you are embarking upon is a journey that may eventually transform
your organization's people and integrating systems for sustainable
high performance and long-term organizational effectiveness.
Steps in Creating Organizational Effectiveness and Total Organizational Poise/Health Development
Asking
such questions as the two above in respect of your organization
and its people would go a long way in creating organizational
effectiveness and synergy. The answers and attributes developed
could help direct actions and strategies to keep your organization
optimized or healthy for long-term success. This is an important first
step in the services we render in total organizational
poise/health development, review or analysis.
The
necessary key steps that follow are:
- Agreeing
the primary factors or indices in light of the strategic
situation of your organization
- Defining
each factor or index
- Agreeing
the standards or yardsticks for the review or analysis,
and
- Gaining
commitment on the outcome of the review or analysis
When
the people or personal elements of total poise are addressed,
your people will be positioned for organizational effectiveness and high performance. Your
business will reap the effect of organizational poise/health.
