In today's business environment, organizational
development is synonymous with change. High performance
organizations are able to successfully adapt to the
rapidly changing world of the twenty-first century.
Bert David Associates (BDA) assists organizations in
transitioning through potentially stressful periods of
organizational change. Utilizing the three-phase process
described below, BDA enables organizations to not only
survive the change process, but also to emerge from the
experience more productive and dynamic than before.
|
Phase
1: Needs Analysis
-
BDA will administer and analyze Myers-Briggs Type indicator (optional). Information gleaned from the MBTI enables BDA to understand
group dynamics operating within the organization's culture.
-
BDA will conduct a series of on-site interviews to learn about current issues within the organization from a variety of perspectives
at all levels of employment. These interviews enable BDA to focus its efforts on the specific needs and concerns of the client work force.
|
Phase
2: Program Design/Development
-
BDA will utilize data obtained through the Myers-Briggs activity and/or the on-site interviews to identify specific
course objectives, and customize seminar curriculum.
-
BDA will plan appropriate learning modules (examples: Strategic Consensus Building, Team Building, Interpersonal
Communications etc.) and activities that respond to identified objectives and individual client's needs.
-
BDA will design an interactive seminar or series of seminars to lead participants through the change process.
|
Phase
3: Seminar Delivery
-
Participants will learn and apply the William Bridges
model of Transition Management.
-
Participants will assess their current level of functioning with respect to the
desired transition.
-
Participants will identify modifications to organizational structures and practices that are
necessitated by the transition.
-
Participants will identify modifications to individual attitudes and behaviors that must occur to
bring about the desired state.
-
Participants will incorporate these individual and collective modifications into a detailed plan
of action to arrive at the desired state.
|
|
The transition plan is the end product of the
seminar or series of seminars. At the conclusion of
the seminar, BDA will work with the client organization
to ensure effective implementation of the transition
plan through ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and revision.
