Organization Assessment and Development

Organization development is all about change, and more specifically, change that is planned. Rather than a “here we go again mentality”, The Company Doctor will thoughtfully assess your organization through a variety of methods to learn about culture, climate, decision making, information sharing, work process execution strategy, teamwork and leadership and present that information back to you to jointly determine the change approach. We will then assist you in the management of those improvement activities which will bring meaningful and lasting change.

Work processes are the guts of any company, bringing structure, strategy, and people together to do the organization’s business. When these processes work well, productive outcomes are realized. When they don’t, inefficiency, duplication of effort and needless conflict result.

The Company Doctor can help you identify your key work processes and assist you in determining if they are delivering what they are intended to do. If they aren’t, we offer a proven methodology to either create evolutionary change of the incremental variety or revolutionary change of the Breakthrough variety. Either way, the Company Doctor has been improving how people do their work for 35 years and can do the same for you.

Conflict Resolution

Mention the word conflict and it makes people uncomfortable. However, avoiding addressing difficult business or interpersonal issues is already making you and others around you uncomfortable. And, hoping that they go away is not a sound strategy.

The Company Doctor has been assisting people to not run away and address these challenging issues for 35 years in a manner that gets the real issues on the table, minimizing blame and defensiveness and opening up the dialogue. We do that through intensive preparation for each participant, helping both craft the messages that they wish to send and how to listen attentively to receive them from others. This process results in more than a handshake, but with tangible and actionable agreements as well as a way to monitor them. Let the Company Doctor help you break through seemingly impossible relationship challenges.

Strategic Planning

You have been in business for a while and have done just fine without having a formal strategic plan. Kudos to you and you probably hope that you won’t have to do formal planning or that your external world will not have a cataclysmic event. That said, hope is only one strategy. Another is to engage the Company Doctor with their comprehensive, highly structured, birth to death approach to planning which will guide you beyond hope answering such questions such as:

• Who are your key competitors today—and tomorrow?
• What are your core competencies and how well prepared is your strategy and workforce to act on them?
• What are the industry’s trends and how might they impact you?
• If you choose to grow, how will you grow—by acquisition, by merger or grow organically?

Let the Company Doctor help you provide answers to these and other vexing questions.
