Organizational Development Consulting for Performance Improvement

LET THE DROSTE GROUP ASSIST YOU IN REACHING YOUR PERFORMANCE GOALS

The Critical Importance of Organizational Development Programs

All performance within a company can be reduced to an action and an outcome (i.e., the result of that action). Each can be measured and has a business or financial impact. 100% of all the various actions that all company employees and leaders complete each day fall within Organizational Development’s area of influence (aka Performance Consulting, Organizational Effectiveness, etc.)—the purpose of which is to continually improve those actions and outcomes, resulting in improved performance and business/financial metrics.

A robust organizational development program provides the best framework for understanding, measuring, and optimizing these actions. We focus on the human element and the actions that support it to realize the potential of better efficiency, better innovation, and a stronger bottom line.

Our Approach to Organizational Development Consulting

At the Droste Group, we believe that effective Organizational Development consulting goes beyond applying generic solutions. We recognize that each organization possesses a unique DNA, complete with its own set of opportunities and challenges. Our customized approach is built on a foundation of active listening and deep understanding. We immerse ourselves in your business, taking the time to learn your specific industry nuances, organizational culture, and strategic objectives, creating tailored solutions that drive measurable outcomes for your company.

  1. Assessment and Diagnosis
    We start by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s current state, using tools like surveys, interviews, and focus groups to gather insights into your strengths, challenges, and areas of opportunity.
  2. Strategic Planning and Goal Setting
    Working closely with leadership, we help establish clear, actionable goals and identify the most effective organizational development program to achieve them. This includes setting benchmarks and success metrics for tracking progress.
  3. Customized Solutions
    We design targeted solutions that address your company’s specific needs, all grounded in organizational psychology and best practices. For a substantial list of solutions, select Types of Solutions.
  4. Implementation and Change Management
    Our experienced Organizational Development (OD) consultants work alongside your team to implement solutions, ensuring that change is managed smoothly and that all team members are engaged and prepared to embrace new processes.
  5. Evaluation and Continuous Improvement
    As your OD consultants, we believe in the importance of measuring success. Post-implementation evaluations allow us to measure impact, make adjustments, and ensure that your organization remains on track to meet its objectives. Our goal is to embed a culture of continuous improvement, empowering your teams to proactively identify and address performance gaps long after our direct engagement.

Your Path to Progress: Exploring Our Process Together

A complete Organizational Development program is the well-defined practice of:
  1. Measuring the current performance.
  2. Comparing it to the best that can be done (i.e., benchmarking).
  3. Identifying the performance gap.
  4. Identifying the possible cause(s) of that gap.
  5. Identifying the possible performance solutions (called “interventions” within the OD practice) that will address those causes.
  6. Implementing the performance solutions.
  7. Re-measuring the performance—to make sure the performance is improved, the gap is closed, and the solutions were the correct ones!
NOTE: A regular company-wide audit can first be conducted to identify the most significant potential gaps with the largest potential impact. This can prioritize which to put through the process first, second, etc.

The Impact of Organizational Development Consulting

An example of the enormous impact of organizational development is as follows. Just one generation or so ago, the Big Three automotive producers controlled the US auto market. When approached to implement organizational development program processes, they initially declined. In contrast, these processes were immediately implemented by their foreign counterparts. Within a generation, due to their implementation by foreign competition, the Big Three had just a slight lead in only one of the auto industry segments—light trucks. One of the Big Three was foreign-owned, one threatened bankruptcy, and one announced layoffs and plant closings.
