Systemic
Organizational Development
Systemic organizational development can be understood like caring for a tree: every level - from the roots through the trunk to the branches - is connected to the others.
Systemic organizational development is not a linear process but an interplay of many elements. It calls for attention, guidance and the right balance between support and personal responsibility.
Change processes
Change can happen at different levels - from individuals through teams to the entire organisation.
Examples include:
- New roles or responsibilities
- Adjusting team structures
- Changing workflows and processes
Learning processes
Just as water and nutrients strengthen a tree, learning processes develop the capabilities of teams and individuals.
These include:
- Workshops and training
- Collective learning and exchange of experience
- Building new competencies within the organisation
Clarification processes
Sometimes a tree needs care so that its fruit can thrive. Clarification processes help to develop shared goals, values and strategies.
e.g.:
- Developing a mission statement
- Values work
- Strategy workshops
