Organisational Development

Organisations are fluid and ever changing entities, despite the presence of bricks and mortar, rules, processes, Books of Instructions, and the policies, laws, and guidelines they all operate under.  The key question becomes whether your organisation is evolving and developing under conscious business and leadership principles, or whether it is more or less unconsciously evolving while leaders and workers deal with and focus on critical operational actions, crisis, and processes.

In this sense organisations are either reactive or directive, they either have a plan and follow a vision, or they simply emerge and grow in an unregulated way, and without foreseeing consequences of such things as growth, competitors, changing staff dynamics, and other internal and external stressors and pressures.  In many cases, an organisation would benefit from the calm guidance and mentoring of an objective, outsider view of what is happening in and to the organisation in its present state. 

Organisational Development is a discipline that many organisations need but unfortunately keep relegating to the future whilst they deal with the next crisis, or deal with other strategic imperatives.  In our experience, Organisational Development is best approached via an internal Champion or Executive who "owns" the process, and who works with a mix of internal and external resources to diagnose, plan, and execute an Organisational Development plan which is linked and integrated to the Strategic Vision and Strategic Plan of the organisation. 

Organisational Development typically requires a consulting approach, where our consultants diagnose the issues facing a business and design a tailored solution to address these.  This may consist of a workshop, one-on-one sessions, and gathering and interpreting internal and external stakeholder feedback.  Corporate Energetics also offers deeper interventions with our consultants assisting the business to understand how the issues were created in the first place.

Mutual respect inspires the finest in human performance in a way that generates collaboration, synergy and unity. A leader's genuine need for power and achievement is critical to organisational success. Establishing affinity builds trust and respect throughout the organisation, with your customers and the community.

The need for affinity, trust and respect is the pre-requisite for successful organisational development and cultural transformation. When affinity, trust and respect are absent, the organisation and every individual focus on self protection, or personal power and achievement in order to survive. The growth of the organisation takes a back seat.

Corporate Energetics knows that most successful businesses engage in transformation and leadership programs in order to become great. Our experience is that solid cognitive based programs do not address the cultural roots of the business and positive business impact is not sustainable.

Corporate Energetics engages leaders at the personal, team and organisational level. Our Reflective (I), Cognitive (IT), Emotional Intelligence (WE) and Psychodynamics (ITs) approach (see model) assesses and facilitates all dimensions of business consciousness.

Our Interpretive Business Psychology model for leadership allows us to address your organisational and personal strengths and weaknesses simultaneously. We engage with organisations via a top down process with our team of experienced consultants. Our partnering model provides advanced tools and techniques to drive sustainable change that can be tailored to meet organisational objectives.

Our aim is to partner with organisations to create a dynamic and continuous process of development, learning and feedback at the personal and organisational level, to support organisational success.
