Organizational Health Assessment

A healthy organization enjoys continuous, industry-leading performance and self-renewing cycles of innovation and value-creation in service to customers, employees, stockholders, the community and other stakeholder systems. It requires conscious human beings at every level of an organization to achieve real health - in a fully healthy organization virtually everyone is “awake.”

We offer a two-day Organizational Health Assessment Workshop. Each Workshop is private and intended to help you measureyour organizational health in the context of your organization’s strategic direction. We’ll view health as the readiness and ability to deliver on a strategic thrust in a way that positions your company advantageously in its markets.

Format:

InterOctave will guide your Senior Management (and ideally other cross-functional Leaders in your organization) who will create the assessment. We’ll examine six indicators (paired in inextricably-linked sets) of organizational health:

Product and Business Effectiveness: The first two elements are related to the product offering and how the customers and consumers of the product and services of the business perceive it. Our assessment tends to open new ways of asking old questions giving a more customer centered view.

Process and Functioning Effectiveness: The next two elements are related to the processes through which the organization makes the product, including the material flow and the application of technology to production. Although these processes are not visible to the customer and consumer, the products-in-use by the customer are the manifestation of the degree to which the organization can ensure functioning effectiveness in daily activities.

Organizing and Interactive Effectiveness: The last set of elements is related to the degree to which the organization has appropriate relationships among people and the appropriate capability to think together. It includes the structures, systems, and processes put in place to foster effectiveness.

Leadership: We’ll also examine the ableness of the leadership of the organization to maintain the health in each of these three sets of health indicators. Where shortfalls exist a plan to develop capability will be created by the teams who will participate in the development.
