Ever started building a house? If you did, here are three things, aside of many other things, you certainly thought about:
- Get a budget plan. My Chinese laundry man always said to me when in the states: No ticky? No washy!
- Know what type of the house you want (concept), and therefore also keep in mind the future usage of it (your kids, parents, hobby room, dentist practice at ground floor, etc...?)
- Ensure you can built, how and what (compliance, regulations). Ever seen people losing their homes because they built in a forest without building permits? I did ;)
And that's what Organization Development & Design is about: it is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and developing organizations. I, therefore, prefer to call the discipline Organization Architecture.
Unfortunately most Organization Architecture functions you find in organizations do start with building the roof and walls of the house, before considering to develop the disciplines of planning & designing.
So where do you start? Apparently with planning & design: planning the data management strategy of the organization structure & people and design of the organization based on position & identity.
Based on position & identity control, and the design of your organization data strategy & processes will allow the organization to develop in a controlled manner its systems, processes and culture.
In summary, the Organization Design data, system & process is fundamental to develop an Organization Development discipline that is concrete and objective.
