Worxz® Services
The WORXZ® approach to organizational transformation has been segmented into seven perspectives. While there is a dynamic relationship between these perspectives, and none is mutually exclusive, these perspectives describe the lens through which we view your organization and the opportunity for WORXz® to assist you.
The perspectives include:
- Organizational Alignment and Futuring
What is my vision and goal for the future and how might I get there?
- Organizational Diagnoses
I am not able to reach my objectives despite the best-laid plans. What is wrong in my system and what changes are required to get me where I want to be?
- Systems and Practices
Are my organizational systems as effective and efficient as they need to be? How can they be developed or improved to support my organizational objectives?
- Process Definition/Re-engineering
Are there other opportunities to improve process flow and reduce bottlenecks?
- Performance Metrics
How do I measure success and ensure that your performance metrics are driving the right behavior in the organization? Do I have metrics that are in conflict with the metrics of other functions? What informal subtle beliefs and behaviors are causing contention in applying your performance metrics.
- Organizational Development
How can I create the right organizational dynamics and climate to support goals and vision? Are our employees connected and performance aligned with our organization's strategy and objectives?
- Organizational Leadership
What are the most effective leadership styles and practices for my organization and how can I transfer these skills to my leadership and management teams? Are we skilled at building interpersonal relationships which foster a sense of community in our organization? Are we confident that our employees are making the right decisions?
We ensure that change efforts consider the whole organizational system knowing that initiatives that optimize one component of the system but sub-optimize the whole are of little value. Finally, engagements are evaluated from a change management approach. We want to ensure that the solutions developed are implementable and accepted by your organization realizing that any improvement initiative must carefully consider the organizational culture and climate in which it will be carried out, with a strong emphasis on stakeholder support.
Wondering Where to Start?
Looking at your organization as if you could view it from a level which provides a totally unbiased perspective is the first step to any performance improvement. Studying the organization's processes and people in terms of their level of integration, synchronization, and adaptation to the organization's purpose, vision, mission, and goals assures continuity. Imagine that you identify and list organizational improvements that evaporate the undesirable effects that plague the spirit and productivity of your employees. Capture these thoughts and write them down where you can reflect on them and the changes that will be required to achieve your vision; then prioritize the changes that would be required to realize achieving the issues on your list. You’ve now started your first step in diagnosing your organization for improvement.
