Organizational Development (OD) involves aligning strategies, structures, and processes, and developing a culture within the organization to help it achieve its goals and full potential. This systematic approach requires implementing structured activities like training, workshops, coaching, and team-building exercises to address identified needs, and help the organization adapt new processes, strategies, or techniques for promoting ongoing development. OD strategies typically address a variety of areas including leadership, culture, performance, and change management. By creating an environment where employees can flourish, organizational development consultants foster collaboration, innovation, and resilience, equipping organizations to navigate change and complex challenges more effectively.

A core component of OD is diagnosing and assessing areas within the organization that may need improvement. When it comes to organizational development’s best practices, Group50 consulting firm’s experienced organizational development consultants utilize a sustainable OD process consisting of:

Assessment: The consultants conduct a series of assessments and workshops that provide a full understanding of the current state of the organization, and asses the organization’s capabilities, resources, and plans, both from a tactical and strategic perspective.

Developing Strategic and Tactical Plans: The consulting firm offers the experience of a seasoned global consulting team to assist the organization in defining the strategy and tactics that will deliver optimal results for your organization, utilizing workshops that are designed to help senior leadership design and implement projects that deal with identified strategic gaps, operating gaps, and organizational gaps.

Strategic Execution: The consultants help the organization with development plans, institute human capital systems and communication plans, create and enhance standard operating procedures, and also provide insights on how to fully engage the stakeholders in the process.

Continuous Improvement: Once the enhancements are operating as expected, Group50’s organizational development consultants will complete a mini evaluation to ensure that long-term results are delivered. Group50’s assessments and tools are designed to align the organization to the company’s strategic objectives, measure performance, and elevate the skill sets of all employees and contractors in the organization.

Three levels of the Business Hierarchy of Needs®̥

Group50’s organizational development consultants follow the Business Hierarchy of Needs® change management framework. It consists of three levels, the first level works on the Most Important Goals (MIGs), and value proposition. The level identifies strategic and operating gaps, focuses on developing key performance indicators (KPIs), and tactical objectives, and provides the basis for identifying what needs to be done to successfully execute strategy. The second level of the Business Hierarchy of Needs® defines the required organizational structure, skill maps, and training requirements, along with performance management objectives. The third level of the change management framework relates to the implementation of the change management framework by the organizational development consultants. It requires the establishment of an appropriate steering committee, the development of the roadmap for OD implementation, and keeping skill development programs on track.

Establishing clear, measurable goals that align individual performance with organizational objectives is one of the key responsibilities of the organizational development consultants. They also create change management plans, including communication strategies, stakeholder engagement, training, and support resources to minimize resistance and ensure smooth implementation. They also provide one-on-one coaching, workshops, and training programs on essential leadership skills, including conflict resolution, strategic planning, and emotional intelligence. They also help identify high-potential employees, create personalized development plans, and establish succession plans to support long-term leadership continuity.
