Organizational diagnosis is a process to identify gaps between a company's current and desired performance in order to help it achieve its goals. The process involves gathering data through methods like interviews, observations, and questionnaires, analyzing the information, and providing feedback to identify strengths, opportunities, and problems. It is important to have clear expectations and roles defined between the client and consultant to facilitate open communication and ensure useful data is collected. Various techniques can be used in analysis, such as force field analysis, which balances the forces for and against decisions to help strengthen supportive forces and reduce opposition.
The document discusses organizational change and the factors that drive it. It defines organizational change as change that impacts how work is performed and significantly affects staff. Change can be driven by internal pressures like declining effectiveness or external forces such as changes in regulations, technology, the economy, competition, or social trends. Effective change management is important for guiding an organization's transition from its current state to a desired future state in a structured way that helps employees accept and embrace the changes.
The document discusses various approaches to organizational effectiveness including goal attainment, system resources, strategic constituencies, and competing values. It describes models of organizational effectiveness such as human relations, internal processes, open system, and rational goal. Key factors for organizational effectiveness are identified as the CEO, manager-subordinate relationships, and the managers. Methods to increase effectiveness include aligning talent and business strategies, mergers/acquisitions, and integrating business and talent management strategies.
This document discusses organisational culture and provides details on its key characteristics and how it is created and sustained within an organisation. It describes organisational culture as the shared meanings and beliefs held by organisational members. Seven key characteristics of organisational culture are identified: innovation and risk taking, attention to detail, outcome orientation, people orientation, team orientation, aggressiveness, and stability. The document also examines how organisational culture is created by founders and kept alive through selection processes, leadership, and socializing new employees.
Evaluation is a planned process which provides specific information about a selected session, program for the purpose of determining value or decision making.

Performance management is defined as a strategic and integrated approach to delivering successful organizational results by improving employee performance and developing capabilities. It involves setting expectations, reviewing results, and rewarding performance. The goal is to establish a shared understanding of what needs to be achieved and develop an approach to managing employees so goals can be met. Performance is influenced by ability, motivation, and opportunity. It is measured using indicators like productivity, efficiency, innovation, and control of external factors. Performance appraisals assess accomplishments and develop plans for improvement. They are used for evaluation decisions, training needs assessments, and human resource functions like compensation, promotion, and succession planning.
This document discusses organizational learning and defines it as a change in behavior and mindsets that leads to redesigning organizational practices.

Organizational culture is defined as the shared meanings, values, and beliefs of members within an organization. It distinguishes one organization from others and influences employee behavior. Strong cultures provide benefits like consistency and commitment but can also lead to inflexibility and resistance to change. National culture differs from organizational culture in its level of impact on employees and origins from consistency in practices rather than values. An organization's culture defines its identity, provides a sense of purpose, and facilitates commitment among members.
This document provides an overview of organizational development (OD) including its history, models, theories, key concepts, and strategies. It discusses early influences on OD such as T-groups, action research, and quality of work life programs. Models of change including those by Lewin, Schein, Kilmann, and Porras and Robertson are summarized. Core OD values like participation, empowerment, and teams are covered. Finally, strategies like parallel learning structures and the normative-reductive approach are outlined.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared beliefs, customs, traditions, and values of an organization's members.

Introduction to Performance Management - Meaning, Process, Need, Difference between Performance Appraisal and Performance Management, Components of Performance Management System
Organizational culture is defined as shared perceptions held by members of an organization and can include subcultures within departments. Origins of culture include founders' values, the external environment, and the nature of work. Typical American culture is quick decision-making, individual contribution linked to goals, focus on ROI, and work-life balance. Typical Japanese culture emphasizes consensus decision-making, group contribution, process over just ROI, and priority of work over personal life. Theory Z proposes long-term employment, consensus decision-making, individual recognition, and holistic employee concern can improve performance. Culture is communicated through stories, rituals, symbols, values, and assumptions and shapes acceptable behavior and decision-making.
This document discusses performance planning, which involves managers communicating with employees to set expectations for the upcoming period. Performance planning defines goals and metrics for evaluating employee performance. It is a process where the employee and manager work together to determine what the employee will do in the coming year. Performance planning aims to align employee goals with organizational objectives. It also provides feedback and resources to help employees achieve their goals. Competency mapping identifies the key skills required for jobs. It is linked to performance planning as it helps assign the right people to roles and identify training needs to improve performance.

Organizational climate refers to employees' perceptions of the policies, practices and procedures in their workplace. It is shaped by both objective structural factors like rules and policies as well as subjective perceptual factors regarding how employees interpret and respond to their work environment. Organizational climate exists at multiple levels - the overall organization, individual work groups, and personal psychological experiences. It is measured through employee perceptions and influences important outcomes like job satisfaction, performance and retention. Managing organizational climate effectively requires understanding factors that create resistance to change as well as strategies to overcome resistance.
This document discusses organization transformation. Organization transformation refers to activities like reengineering, redesigning, and redefining business systems. It can occur in response to or in anticipation of major changes in the environment or technology. There are three main types of interventions for organization transformation: culture change, self-designing organizations, and organization learning with knowledge management. Transformational change is characterized as being systemic, revolutionary, demanding a new organizing paradigm, and requiring continuous learning. It is driven by senior executives and management and occurs in response to disruptions.
Organizational culture stems from the actions of founders through selection, socialization, and role modeling. Cultures are sustained through selection processes, managerial actions that establish norms, and socialization methods for new employees. Employees learn the culture through stories, rituals, symbols, and language that express and reinforce key organizational values. Managers can promote ethical, positive cultures by visibly rewarding ethical behavior and being role models of the desired culture.
Organization development (OD) aims to improve an organization's ability to solve problems and enhance performance. It involves assessing issues through action research, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes. Common OD interventions include sensitivity training, team building, surveys, and structural redesign, which target individuals, groups, or the entire organization. The goal is to boost both task accomplishment and how people work together.

Organizational Learning in Nigerian Institutions: Constraints and ChallengesIOSR Journals
Organisations are recognised as legal and corporate entities. They have an image, and they can sue and be sued. To that extent therefore, this paper posits that organizations can also learn, and asserts that the absence or dearth of adequate organisational learning culture denies organizations the much needed competitive edge necessary to survive and remain viable in the contemporary and highly globalised world. The paper x-rays the technical and social perspectives of organisational learning and argues that the learning process is context and culture-driven. Conceding that effective organisational learning practice enhances performance, it highlights some hindrances to the learning process, suggests remedies and concludes with a case study of the organisational learning problems of a Nigerian public sector organization.

draw strength from the diverse knowledge, experience, capabilities, and
ways of doing things that people and communities have and use.“

9. Units of learning
Organizations gain knowledge in one of the four organizational units of learning.
Individual learning is the smallest unit at which learning can occur. An individual learns new skills or
ideas, and their productivity at work may increase as they gain expertise.
Group learning is the next largest unit at which learning can occur. Group learning happens when
individuals within a group "acquire, share, and combine knowledge through experience with one
another”. There are conflicting definitions of group learning among researchers studying it. One belief
is that group learning is a process in which a group takes action, gets feedback, and uses this feedback to
modify their future action. Another belief is that group learning happens when a member shares their
individual knowledge with other group members. Once this happens, individual learning turns into
group learning.
Organizational learning is the way in which an organization creates and organizes knowledge relating to
their functions and culture. Organizational learning happens in all of the organization's activities, and it
happens in different speeds. The goal of organizational learning is to successfully adapt to changing
environments, to adjust under uncertain conditions, and to increase efficiency.
Inter organizational learning is the way in which different organizations in an alliance collaborate, share
knowledge, and learn from one another. An organization is able to improve its "processes and products
by integrating new insights and knowledge" from another organization. By learning from another
organization, an organization is able to cut time costs, decrease the risks associated with problem
solving, and learn faster. Learning from another organization can mean either applying the same ideas
used by that organization or modifying these ideas, thereby creating innovation. Inter-organizational
learning occurs frequently in fixed business models, such as franchising.
