Putting the right people, on the right bus, going in the right direction is essential to a well-run organization.

Organizational Development

So, you've hired great talent. Now what? For most business owners its "management by the seat of your pants". We're not trying to be funny here. In fact, most small business owners are lacking in any processes, let alone in a good on-boarding/management one. So, what is Organizational Development? Well, according to Wikipedia...
Organization development (OD) is the study of successful organizational change and performance. OD emerged from human relations studies in the 1930s, during which psychologists realized that organizational structures and processes influence worker behavior and motivation. More recently, work on OD has expanded to focus on aligning organizations with their rapidly changing and complex environments through organizational learning, knowledge management and transformation of organizational norms and values. Key concepts of OD theory include: organizational climate (the mood or unique “personality” of an organization, which includes attitudes and beliefs that influence members’ collective behavior), organizational culture (the deeply-seated norms, values and behaviors that members share) and organizational strategies (how an organization identifies problems, plans action, negotiates change and evaluates progress).
