An organization can move systematically from the stage of examining managerial behavior and style to the development and implementation of an ideal strategic corporate model.
Comprehensive interventions are organizational development techniques that target the entire organization rather than subgroups. Popular comprehensive interventions include survey feedback, where employee attitudes are surveyed and results are shared organization-wide to create solutions, and structural change interventions which implement alterations to organizational structures and policies. Other comprehensive interventions are sociotechnical system design which emphasizes independent self-managed work teams, and total quality management which focuses on quality processes. Key steps in comprehensive interventions are getting whole systems involved, conducting confrontation meetings involving all management to assess organizational health, and strategic management activities where the organization's strategy is developed and implemented.
This document discusses organization development (OD) interventions. It begins by defining interventions as principal learning processes used individually or in combination to improve social or task performance. Some examples of common OD interventions mentioned include team building, coaching, large group interventions, and leadership development. The document then discusses various types of interventions, including human process interventions like coaching and team building, technostructural interventions like total quality management, and human resource management interventions like performance management. It concludes by listing 10 most common OD interventions practiced by companies, such as applying goals criteria, establishing task forces, and setting up measurement systems.

Role negotiation is a team building technique developed by Roger Harrison that involves a series of controlled negotiations among group members to address issues related to power, authority, and influence within the group. It consists of five steps: contract setting to define needed behavior changes; issue diagnosis for individuals to identify how their effectiveness could improve if others change; influence trade for negotiating behavior changes; an appreciation and concern exercise; and visioning for the group to describe its future goals. The goal is to integrate people's roles through mutual agreement on role performance expectations to improve group effectiveness.
Human resource interventions aim to help organizations improve performance and effectiveness. There are different types of interventions, including individual-based interventions like training and coaching, group-based interventions like team building, and inter-group interventions like conflict resolution. Effective interventions fit the organization's needs, are based on causal knowledge of intended outcomes, and transfer change-management skills to members. Designing effective interventions depends on factors like individual differences, organizational readiness for change, and the capabilities of the change agent.
Team building aims to improve how a team works together through increased understanding of team dynamics and collective accountability. For Samsung, a $60 million division was failing to deliver products on time and losing $13 million annually. Their team building plan focused on effective communication, accountability, trust, and conflict resolution. Through a series of structured exercises and workshops addressing these topics, they were able to transform the team's work processes and mindset, improving efficiency, meeting deadlines, and becoming profitable again in under two years.
This document discusses various types of organizational development interventions. It begins by defining intervention and describing criteria for effective interventions. It then discusses factors that impact the success of interventions, including those relating to the change situation and target of change. Various intervention types are covered such as team interventions, inter-group and third party interventions, and comprehensive OD interventions involving the whole system. Structural interventions involving redesigning the organization are also outlined. Presentation sections provide details on specific interventions like team building, process consultation, and socio-technical system design.

HRD refers to helping employees continuously develop their capabilities to perform current and future roles through training, learning, and developing an organizational culture of collaboration. An organization's culture is shaped by the underlying values and assumptions held by its members, while climate refers to the conscious environment as perceived by employees. HRD climate is influenced by how important human resource development is perceived to be, the level of openness, trust, and collaboration fostered, and how well HRD mechanisms like training and performance reviews are implemented. Developing an optimal HRD climate through supportive policies and practices can facilitate employee learning and development.
Organization development (OD) interventions are techniques used to implement planned changes to an organization's culture and structure. Some key OD interventions include sensitivity training, which helps participants understand their own behavior and that of others through group interactions. Survey feedback collects data through questionnaires and provides anonymous feedback to employees. Process consultation examines workflows, relationships, and communication channels to identify problems and strategies for improvement. Job enrichment, enlargement, and redesign are structural interventions that aim to change roles and responsibilities within an organization.
Interpersonal and group process interventionsgaurav jain
The document discusses four main interpersonal and group process interventions: T-groups, process consultation, third-party intervention, and team building. T-groups are designed to provide experiential learning about group dynamics, leadership, and interpersonal relations. Process consultation helps groups assess and improve processes like communication and decision-making to help themselves. Third-party intervention addresses conflicts between two or more people. Team building examines elements of work groups like goals, structure, and relationships to improve effectiveness.
The document discusses the roles and relationships between clients and consultants in organizational development projects. It defines consultants as independent advisors contracted to help clients identify and solve management problems. The ideal relationship involves building trust and mutual understanding, with the consultant acting as a facilitator rather than expert to help develop the client's own problem-solving abilities over time.
Process assumptions-values-n-beliefs-of-odaileenv21
Organizational development (OD) aims to increase organizational effectiveness through planned interventions. The typical OD process consists of 9 steps over a minimum of one year: initial diagnosis, data collection, data feedback, selecting interventions, implementing interventions, action planning, team building, inter-group development, and evaluation. Key values of OD include being humanistic by respecting individuals, optimistic by believing in progress through reason and cooperation, and democratic by respecting individual rights and fairness. These values imply treating individuals with support, challenge, and responsibility, and groups with investment in development, team leadership, and interactive solutions.
Assessment centre method performance appraisal.pdfAbhilash vijayan
The document discusses performance appraisals and assessment centers. It defines a performance appraisal as a regular review of an employee's job performance and contributions. An assessment center is a technique used to measure a person's knowledge, skills, and abilities through exercises like in-basket tests, interviews, role plays and group discussions. Assessment centers are used for selection, identifying potential and talent, and determining training needs. While they provide expert evaluation of behaviors, assessment centers can be expensive and time consuming.
The document discusses the HR scorecard, which is a strategic measurement system that helps measure, manage, and improve the strategic role of the HR department. It recommends a four-step process including identifying critical HR deliverables, customers, activities, and cost-benefit analyses. The HR scorecard focuses on four perspectives: HRD systems maturity, competence, linking business objectives to HR, and HRD culture. A sample scorecard for a hospital is provided that grades the organization's overall HRD maturity across the four perspectives.
The action research model focuses on planned organizational change as a cyclical process with several main steps:
1) Entry and problem identification where a client senses problems that could be addressed with an OD practitioner.
2) Contracting where the practitioner and client assess each other and their expectations and resources for change.
3) Diagnosis where the practitioner gathers data to determine the underlying causes of problems.
4) Feedback of diagnostic findings to the client to identify organizational strengths and weaknesses.
5) Joint planning of actions for change based on the diagnosis and resources. Evaluation of results then feeds back into the process to guide further action.
Role negotiation was developed by Roger Harrison as a technique to intervene in power dynamics within groups. It involves parties negotiating written agreements where each agrees to change certain behaviors in return for changes from others. The process consists of contract setting, issue diagnosis, influence trade, appreciation and concern exercises, and visioning. Participants negotiate agreements on work behaviors to change or continue and write them down. They then provide feedback to others and discuss vision for the future organization. A follow up later reviews if agreements were upheld and their impact.

Managing team and organizational conflictMasum Hussain
This document discusses managing team and organizational conflict. It begins by defining team conflict and discussing its nature. It then provides a six-step procedure for dealing with conflict in teams that involves listening, understanding other perspectives, showing concern for relationships, finding common ground, generating new solutions, and reaching agreements. It also discusses types of team conflicts, sources of conflict, and effective ways to deal with team conflict. For organizational conflict, it covers types, causes, positive and negative outcomes, and effects on performance. Finally, it discusses conflict resolution, resolution of organizational conflict, and benefits of proper conflict management.
Client-consultant relationship is a fundamental piece in the puzzle of successful consultation. Soft systems thinking provides a powerful framework to conceptualize and make sense of such relationships, clarifying mutual commitment and demonstrates collaborative values.
Managing Conflict in Organizations discusses the types, causes, and resolution of conflicts within organizations. There are three main types of organizational conflicts: personal conflicts between individuals, intragroup conflicts within teams, and intergroup conflicts between departments. Common causes of conflicts include unclear managerial expectations, poor communication, misunderstandings, and lack of accountability. The document outlines several positive and negative outcomes of conflicts and provides strategies for resolving conflicts, such as defining problems, generating solutions, evaluating options, and implementing mutually agreeable resolutions. Proper conflict management can benefit both employees and organizations by improving productivity, morale, and reducing stress.

You are in charge of the team, and you know that your organization prides itself on having a collegial culture. What do you do?
For many people, the answer is clear: Conflict is bad—we need to get rid of it. Conflict makes people uncomfortable and harms our ability to work together, so managers need to step in and resolve differences. Is this always true? Couldn't it be that conflict can also play a positive role in the workplace?
In this chapter, we show that conflict can be good when it surfaces important issues that need to be discussed. The key to managing it is knowing how to determine what kind of conflict is occurring and then using it to generate better decisions. This requires developing skills in areas that are becoming increasingly important in today's workplace: conflict, negotiation, and decision making.

· Guard against common conflict management pitfalls.
Why Do We Have Conflict?
Conflict occurs whenever disagreements exist in a social situation over issues of substance, or whenever emotional antagonisms create frictions between individuals or groups.1 Team leaders and members can spend considerable time dealing with conflicts. Sometimes they are direct participants, and other times they act as mediators or neutral third parties to help resolve conflicts between other people.2 Because conflict dynamics are inevitable in the workplace, we need to know how to handle them.3
Functional and Dysfunctional Conflict
Any type of conflict in teams and organizations can be upsetting both to the individuals directly involved and to others affected by its occurrence. As with the opening example, it can b ...
Teams should provide constructive feedback to help members improve, with a focus on behaviors rather than people. Feedback training is important, and feedback should be thoughtful and focus on specific actions. Conflict is normal for diverse teams, and should be resolved through open communication, understanding different views, and finding mutually agreeable solutions.

Transactional analysis uses contracting to facilitate organizational development. Contracts establish clear goals and expectations between the consultant and client to work together in an equal "OK-OK" relationship. Effective contracts address protection, permission, and potency by outlining the boundaries, mutual understanding, and commitment to achieve results through the consultation process.
Managers spend 24% of their time resolving conflicts. While conflicts cause tension, they can have benefits if resolved constructively, including improving team culture, clarifying goals and doubts, and speeding up change. You need a conflict resolution mechanism to manage tensions from conflicts and prevent polarization from turning destructive. Common conflict resolution methods include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and understanding interests, fairness perceptions, and using influencing styles appropriately.

Organizational learning involves facilitating continuous learning and transformation among all members of an organization. It requires systematically integrating and collectively interpreting new knowledge, which leads to collective action through risk-taking and experimentation. A learning organization recognizes that people are its most important asset and it takes commitment from all members to achieve organizational goals. Key aspects of organizational learning include problem solving, experimentation, learning from experience and others, and sharing knowledge throughout the organization. Building a learning organization involves cultivating personal mastery, examining mental models, developing shared vision, fostering team learning, and understanding systems thinking.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

2. Introduction
• Role negotiation technique is a team building technique
involving negotiations between participants.
• When the causes of team ineffectiveness are based on
people’s behavior of unwillingness to change because it would
mean a loss of power or influence, role negotiation could help
to a great deal.
• Role negotiation technique directly intervenes in the
relationships of power, authority and influence within the
group. The change effort is directed at the work relationships
among members.
• Role negotiation technique was developed by Roger Harrison
3. The steps in Role Negotiation
Technique
• Contract Setting
• Issue Diagnosis
• Influence Trade
• Appreciation and Concerns Exercise
• Visioning
4. 1. Contract Setting
• OD consultant establishes the climate. OD consultant sets
the ground rules.
• The focus is on work behaviors, not feelings about people.
• There needs to be specificity in stating what is needed in
terms of:
what work behavior needs to be started
what work behavior needs to be stopped
what work behavior needs to be continued
• The session will consist of individuals negotiating with each
other to arrive at a written contract of what behaviours
each will change
5. 2. Issue Diagnosis
• Individuals think about their own effectiveness
improvement.
• Issue Diagnosis Individuals think about how their
own effectiveness can be improved, if others
change their work behaviors. Then, each person
fills out an issue diagnosis form for every other
person in the group. On this form, the individual
states what he or she would like the other to do
more, less or unchanged. This is shared.
6. 3. Influence Trade
• Individuals discuss most important behaviour
changes expected from the other side and it
leads to fruitful ends.
• The negotiation ends when all parties are
satisfied that they will receive a reasonable
return for whatever they are willing to forego,
agreed through a contract.
7. 4. Appreciation and Concerns Exercise
• If the deficiency happens to be lack of appreciation,
avoidance of confronting concerns and talents, then
this will help. The facilitator (or consultant) will ask
members to write one to three appreciations for
each member of the group. Then the facilitator will
ask members to jot down one or two minor irritants
or concerns relative to each person. This forms the
basis of further discussion.
8. 5. Visioning
• Group members in one or more organisational
groups describe their vision of what they want
the organisation to be in future (by 6 months
to 5 yrs).
9. Conclusion
• It is best to have a follow-up meeting to
determine whether the contracts have been
honoured and to assess the effects of the
contracts in terms of their effectiveness.
