ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT

Looking at a client’s organization, its culture, and its people as interacting elements of a dynamic system, we ask, "How well does it all work together? What interferes with organizational performance? What does the organization need to succeed? What can be done to maximize performance of each employee and the organization itself?”


For any organization to function effectively, achieve its strategic objectives, and succeed in the long run, it must have a clear statement of the Organizational Vision, Mission and Core Values. Moreover, there must be good alignment between these overall system elements and the functioning of people and larger systems in that organization. At Matrix we use a powerful set of methodologies to assess, understand, and develop a culture that aligns the people of the organization with its Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Strategic Objectives, thus maximizing performance of human assets. We also assess the overt and covert forces that affect the performance of the organization and its employees, as well as the services and products of the organization.

Organizations are perpetually in a state of transformation. The question is, will this transformation resemble a runaway train or will it be one guided by strategic planning in alignment with the Mission, Vision and Core Values of the organization?

The core challenge is how to facilitate this ongoing transformation in a way that allows the vital nature and purpose of the organization to be sustained, while at the same time facilitating the evolution of the organization into its future form.

Stress

According to the US Bureau of labor, stress costs US businesses over $400 billion annually. How much is your annual share? Even more importantly, do you tolerate this or do you want to reduce it?


Our general Organizational Development methods and processes fall into four categories :


When working with an entire organization or a significant segment thereof, we focus on larger organizational variables and measurable, bottom line results. Projects are designed in close association with executive management and executed with an array of tools and processes that includes organizational audits, gap analysis, strategic change management, employee involvement and empowerment, and an overall integration of human resource strategies with the organization’s objectives.


All of our development and training capabilities are built on a platform of fast-follower design methods, compressed action learning, and Adult Learning Theory. Our diagnostic organizational assessment methods include expert computer-based instruments and surveys, depth interviews, focus group studies and 360° multi-rater instruments. These elements allow for customization of key intervention processes, thereby maximizing results and organizational impact.



In many cases, successful organizational performance depends not only upon effective leadership and a highly functioning organization, but also upon the effective delivery of the organization’s products or services. To this end, our Marketing Research services generate quantitative and qualitative data for use in all phases of product development and performance. This data may be utilized in any situation where your organization’s strategic goals and performance require marketing information to achieve maximum effective delivery of services or products.
