Managing action programs for organization development |
The process of managing organization development is fundamentally a comprehensive, highly planned and systematic approach to implement and further improve a broader, long-range perspective of the change management efforts. The very organization development, as an emerging discipline aimed at improving the overall organization effectiveness, developing the potential of the individual members and creating the basis for a continuous and profound change is neither a micro approach to change, nor it refers to a single, random or an ad-hoc change technique. Therefore, it is often considered as an integration of action programs aimed at creating and maintaining the organization capability to predict, adapt and change, particularly the attitudes, capabilities and the morale of the organization members. Nowadays, the principal issues of organization development emerges from transformational restructuring, reengineering and responsible flattening the management hierarchy, to creating and managing a reconfigurable organization, as a flexible and able to change system on an annual, monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly time frame. The reconfigurable organization focuses the attention to the continuing need for a long-range strategies to improve strategic organizational decision making process and the relationships among organization members, in order to meet the changing conditions. These strategies are the framework for the planned change techniques, well known as the action programs for organization development. The process of managing the action programs for organization development would be a central point in the proposed scientific work. It is of such an importance that determines the necessity to further modify, continue or discontinue the overall change efforts in the organization. Finally, a successful action program for organization development must result in a modified or changed organization behavior and capacity for further organization development.
