Organisational development

Although overall organisational development is the appropriate course of action for most organisations, there are numerous problems that surface during the planning and execution of these efforts. Our experience at Amtec has shown that the ever-changing demands of customers, and the increase in regulatory and compliance requirements are just two of the issues that contribute to the difficulty of organisational development.

There are several key steps a business can take that will increase the likelihood of success. Many businesses take on separate strategic, process, organisational change and/or technology projects and may complete many of these projects each year with incremental benefits. However, organisational development is defined as the combination of strategic, process, organisational change and technology development focused around one clear vision, resulting in a significant change in the organisation and substantial improvement. Only when an organisation has this breadth of activities combined with a focused result can an effort be deemed organisational development.

Amtec has developed a pragmatic three-phased approach to delivering Organisational Development assignments: Planning, Delivery and Transformation. Although fairly simple at its highest level, each phase can be deceptively complex.
