Visions, Systems and People
December 02, 2013
In this Blog, Martin Ramsay lays out CEATH Company's undergirding operating philosophy about organizational change. To improve an organization, to make it more effective, one must focus on three things at the same time: vision, systems and people.
Organizational change requires a vision. Without a vision, any activity will suffice since any action will produce some kind of result. Just not the ones we want. To move toward that vision, there must be integrity between the organizational systems and processes work. Finally, it is critical that people are skilled, have congruent motivation, and are able to help move the organization forward toward the vision.
Without simultaneously working on all three, and without all three being in alignment, organizational improvement is unlikely to be successful.
