Meeting the Need: Questions to Answer
This innovative 9-Step process described here meets the basic needs of re-organization by
answering the following questions:
1. “Is it possible to develop a track to run on so that the organization can meet its goals,
whatever they are, regardless of industry or complexity?”
2. “Can employees be involved without causing politicking to interfere with the
participation goal?”
3. “Can the time spent reorganizing be reduced substantially, thereby reducing the anxiety
of the unknown for employees?”
4. “Will reorganizations, conducted this way, improve performance?” and finally,
5. “Can HR play a strategic role with the organization to improve work execution and
continually improve work effectiveness and efficiency through employee selection,
assessment, development, and change in an integrated manner?”
The answers to these questions/goals will be given at the end of this article once the overall
process is detailed.
