The conversation with leaders and HR could be something along the following lines:
As I look across the organization, these are the issues that strike me as important. Is that how you see it? From your perspective, which areas are we already doing well in? Where the most important gaps or deficits? As we think forward to the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, which areas are most likely to prove critical? What could help or hinder us making progress? In light of this, what should we prioritize, start, stop or improve as we move forward?
A different way to approach OD would be through a more explicit people lens. I developed an alternative model (Figure 1) to emphasize that the organization's effectiveness is influenced by having the right people in place, engaged in the right conversations and doing the right things. It proposes that an important dimension of leadership is to attract, recruit, develop, deploy and retain the right people. The tricky part is that people come in all shapes and sizes and so a leadership challenge is how to enable imperfect people to work together well in motivating and effective teams to achieve the organization's goals.
So, for instance, it is possible to imagine a person who is very capable but has an unhelpful attitude that undermines his or her and others’ performance. It is equally possible to imagine a very capable person who lacks moral character. It is possible to imagine a person who is capable and ethical but who feels bored or disengaged. It is equally possible to imagine a person who would be great in one context or environment. or at a particular time in an organization's life, but who is in the wrong role now or in an organizational culture that conflicts with his or her personal preferences or style.
In light of this, I may pose questions along the following lines:
What opportunities or challenges will this person face in this role, culture and organization? What will it take for him or her to be effective? What will it mean to demonstrate the organization’s brand and cultural values in this role? What will good performance actually look like? What potential do we see in this person to fulfill wider roles in the future? What kind of person will succeed in this culture and contribute to it?
These considerations feed into recruitment, talent management, performance and development conversations aimed at building the organization and enabling it to achieve goals through people.
Culture
The cultural piece has been one of the most interesting and stimulating piece of OD work I have been involved with at World Vision UK because of its transformational potential.
