The field of Organizational Development (OD) is concerned with the
performance, development, and effectiveness of human organizations. An
organization is defined as two or more people brought together by one or more
shared goals. (From Wikipedia encyclopedia, 2005)
Many organizations implement change programs, only to be disappointed that "it
just didn't have the impact we wanted." The organization then moves on to
another initiative, leaving the first one remembered as the "flavor of the
month." Managers and employees eventually become cynical about change in
general.
Organizations that successfully implement change realize that program content
itself-although critical to success - is only part of the equation. Another
equally important part involves getting the entire organization - from
executives to the front line - involved in and committed to the initiative.
This approach to change implementation does just that.
Drawing on extensive research and experience in the principles of managing
change, The Fulcrum Group knows how to help leaders expedite change - and own
the future success of their businesses. We guide leaders to create lasting
culture change and adopt principles of leadership and management designed to
sustain high levels of performance.
