ORGANISATIONSASOPENSYSTEMS
 Organizations are organic, living, goal-seeking
organisms;
 Seeking to attain a balance with their internal and
external factors around them;
 The Open Systems Model is a general model to guide
our understanding of the operations of organisations;
 It could also be used for entire organisational diagnosis
or for divisions or units within organisations.

 Procedures and regulations
 Work processes and systems, etc.
3. Outputs:
 Products, services and ideas
 These are the things that meet the purpose of the
organisation.

4. Feedback: The feedback is the outcome of the outputs (goods and
services). These include
 Financial results like profits, productivity, share values, price of
product/service, cost of production, etc.
 Non-financial results like customers preferences, customer loyalty, etc.
 Strategic feedback: that is the degree to which an organisation is
monitoring and adapting to the external environment such as industry
trends, the needs of market segments, and the activities of competitors
and suppliers.,
5. External Environment: This is the PESTLE Analysis
 Political, Economic, Social-cultural, Technological, Legal, and ecological.

KEYASSUMPTIONSOFTHEOPENSYSTEMSMODEL
1. Can be applied to several levels of organisational analysis;
2. Organisations are made up of interdependent components;
3. Where there is a poor fit between interdependent components, there is lack of
organisational effectiveness;
4. All organisations and organisational units have a boundary that differentiates them
from the wider external environment;
5. Permeable boundaries (but not too permeable) are good for survival of
organisations;
6. Impermeable boundaries stifle organisational growth or lead to monopoly;
7. An organisation’s survival depends on its adaptability to the external environment;
8. An organisation’s effectiveness also depends on its ability to meet internal system
needs:-putting people in their right roles, operating with the right systems and
equipment or technology, having the right structure, etc.
9. Developments within and outside the organisation affect its effectiveness.

THEMODELASADIAGNOSTICGUIDE
1. Can be used for the overall organisational diagnosis;
2. Helps assess the broad context affecting operations within a particular
organisational function;
3. Practitioners can use system characteristics of organisation to understand
both immediate and more distant forces affecting the organisation;
4. Practitioners can then focus on those system components and sub-
components that are most directly related to the local system;
5. The model draws attention to interactions between system components and
can guide the assessment of fit among components.

EFFECTIVENESSASSESSMENT
Need for organisations to keep
adapting in the midst of
globalization, rapid socio-economic
changes, technological explosion.
Demands for customer service
quality, efficiency of operations and
growing competition.
Thus the need for assessing
organizational effectiveness,
change and renewal.

• Organisational effectiveness is the degree to which an
organization accomplishes its goals, satisfies its stakeholders,
has the resources it needs to operate, or creates societal or
environmental impact.
• organizational effectiveness is the degree to which an
organization achieves the goals it sets out to achieve.
• The effectiveness of an organisation is different from the
efficiency of an organisation.
Add a footer 11

TREY
research
• Organisational efficiency is the degree to which an organisation
fulfils its goals with the limited resources it has at its disposal.
Efficiency is about doing the right thing the right way. For
example, financial ratios could be used to determine the
efficiency of a company.
• The primary difference between organizational effectiveness
and organizational efficiency is that you can use effectiveness to
evaluate just about every process that makes your business run.
Efficiency, however, is always about the financial costs and the
results of doing something.

There are different approaches to assessing organisational effectiveness. Some of
these are:
Add a footer 13
To what degree the organization achieves it goals.
Goal Model
• Goals include: Product or service quantity and quality, financial goals, shareholder value, societal
impact. E.g. MTN, Apple etc
Achieving high quality internal processes
Internal Processes
Model
• Looks at the smooth functioning of organizational operations achieved through information
management, documentation and continuous consolidation. E.g. Lean process approach. E.g. The
banking sector, Universities
Accesses resources that are rare, valuable and hard to imitate; strong
company brand; or reputation.
Resource-based
Model
• Examples: Proprietary software like WhatApp, Instegram, Microsoft Windows. Others are Apple or
Coca Cola

ORGANISATIONALANALYSISCYCLE
Add a footer 17
The Organisational analysis process is as follows:
1. Identifying the need for change;
2. Contacting: client-consultant contact through:
i. Expression of Interest/Request for Proposal
ii. Unsolicited proposal by consultant
iii. Word of mouth or referral by business associates, friends, etc.
3. Contracting: Formally written contractual agreement
between client and consultant
4. Data gathering: by use of questionnaire, interviews, imagery,
observation, etc.

TREY
research
ORGANISATIONALANALYSISCYCLE
Add a footer 18
The Organisational analysis process is as follows:
5. Data analysis: Giving interpretation to data gathered;
6. Diagnosis: Linking results of data to identifiable problem(s);
7. Feedback I: Discussion of results/diagnosis of data with client;
8. Action Plan/Action taken: List of interventions/solutions to the
problem(s) and proper implementation of interventions;
9. Evaluation: Two stages:
i. Evaluating effectiveness of the intervention/solution
ii. Measuring the success of the intervention;
10. Feedback II: Outcome of the intervention on the business;
11. Termination: Exit of Consultant and consolidation of the intervention.

DATAGATHERINGMETHODSOFORGANISATIONALANALYSIS
There are many ways of gathering data for organizational analysis. These include but
not limited to the ff:
1. Questionnaires
2. Interviews
3. Observation
4. Analysis of records, circulars, appraisal reports and other organisational
literature
5. Analysis of hard data of organisations and various units
6. Task forces and task groups
7. Problem identification/problem solving workshops
8. Seminars, symposia and training programme
9. Recording and examining critical incidents, events.

The process of data gathering begins by establishing a relationship between the
consultant and those from whom data will be collected;
The clients need to know “who the practitioner is”, “why data is being collected”,
“what data gathering will involve”, and “how data will be used”
Practitioner needs to establish a psychological contract with the organisation
members. The following questions could elaborate on the contract:
Who am I?
Why am I here and what am I doing?
Who do I work for?
What do I want from you and why?
How will I protect your confidentiality?
Who will have access to the data?
What’s in it for you?
Can I be trusted?

Next is to choose the best data collection technique.
The four major techniques for gathering diagnostic data are
questionnaires, interviews, observations, and unobtrusive measures.
No single method can fully measure the kinds of variables important to
OD because each has certain strengths and weaknesses.
Next is the analysis of the data gathered.
Last is the feedback of data to the client.

1. QUESTIONNAIRE:
• Questionnaires can vary in scope;
• They also can be standardized or tailored to specific organizations.
• Standardized questions contain predetermined questions that have been tested overtime.
• Examples of standardized questionnaire are:
• Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire;
• Weisbord's Organizational Diagnostic Questionnaire;
• Dyer's Team Development Survey; and
• Hackman and Oldham's Job Diagnostic Survey.
• Standardized questionnaire can undergo modifications, additions and omissions.
• Customized questionnaires, on the other hand, are tailored to the needs of a particular client.
• They are usually developed by consultants or with organisation members.
• They usually face problems of validity and reliability.
• There are open-ended and close-ended questionnaire

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
QUESTIONNAIRE:
• ADVANTAGES
1.Most efficient way to collecting data
2.Can be administered to large number of people
simultaneously
3.Allow for quantitative comparison and evaluation
4.Can vary in scope for different variables of organisations;
5.Does not entails lots of time to administer and gather data;
6.Are less expensive

TREY
research
Add a footer 25
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
QUESTIONNAIRE:
• DISADVANTAGES
1.Responses are limited to the questions asked in the
instrument;
2. Response bias leading to over elaboration or restriction of
data;

TREY
research
Add a footer 26
2.INTERVIEWS:
• Interviews:
1. A study of 245 OD practitioners found that interviewing is
the most widely used data- gathering technique in OD programmes
2. Interviews are more direct, personal, and flexible than surveys and are
very well suited for studies of interaction and behavior.
3. For example, they can be used to
determine motives, values, and attitudes.
4. Second, interviewing is the only technique that provides two-way
communication. This permits the interviewer to learn more about
the problems, challenges, and limitations of the organization.

2.INTERVIEWS:
5. Interviews are best administered in a systematic manner by a
trained interviewer.
6. Questions posed like in questionnaire could be close-ended or
open-ended.
7. They could be directional or non-directional. E.g. of non-directional
questions is “tell me about your job”
8. Interviews may be highly structured or highly unstructured.
9. Interviews could be done in groups; e.g. focus groups or sensign
meeting;

TREY
research
Add a footer 28
2. ADVANTAGES OF INTERVIEWS
1. More direct, personal and flexible; thus can be used for varied situations;
2. They provide two-way communication;
3. Can be used to measure imbedded characteristics such as, values, beliefs,
attitudes and norms;
4. Can build self-rapport between consultant and client.
5. Enables interviewer to probe for further information to clarify issues.
DISADVANTAGES OF INTERVIEWS
1. Involves a lot of time to administer;
2. Needs specialized skills of the interviewer to be able to elicit information;
3. Difficulty comparing data across respondents;
4. Interviewer bias;
5. Resistance of interviewee to render some information.

3. OBSERVATION
1. Observation could take various forms:
a. By walking along an aisle in the workspace;
b. By complete participation in the task or activity
c. By use of a screen, video recording etc.
2. Could be used to assess behaviors or processes;
Advantages of Observation
1. Free of response bias;
2. Observation gives real-time data;
3. Observation is adoptive-i.e. consultant can change what he wants to observe;
4. Good at analysing interpersonal relations of individuals and groups.

WHATISORGANISATIONALDIAGNOSIS/ANALYSIS
Organisational diagnosis is an exercise attempted
to:
 analyse the organisation, its structure,
subsystems and processes;
 identify the strengths and weaknesses of its
structural components and processes; and to
develop plans to improve and/or maximise the
dynamism and effectiveness of the organisation.
Add a footer 31

TREY
research
WHATISORGANISATIONALDIAGNOSIS/ANALYSIS
Analysing the organisation in terms of its components and their
functioning is the first step in a comprehensive diagnosis.
 organisations are systems composed of different component
parts
 The effective functioning of each part is crucial for the overall
functioning of the organisation.
In addition the coordinated functioning of these subsystems
also contributes to organisational effectiveness.
Add a footer 32

TREY
research
PURPOSES OFORGANISATIONALDIAGNOSIS
Organisational diagnosis could be organised for the following purposes:
1. Enhancing the general understanding of the functioning of
organisations (i.e. educational or research purposes.)
 Direct beneficiary-Researcher not organisation
 For societal consumption
2. Planning for growth and diversification
 Reveals strengths and weakness
 Structural dimensions: e.g. people, systems, styles, technology,
etc.

3. Improving Organisational Effectiveness or Planning General
Improvements. E.g. by use of Organisation Capacity Assessment
Tools.
 introducing new management systems and processes,
 reduction of wasteful expenditure,
 change of personnel policies to enhance employee motivation,
 improvements in general health of the organisation etc.
Add a footer 34

TREY
research
4. Organisational Problem Solving to identify the source of the problem
and take action. Some of these could be:
 A sick unit, a bottleneck,
 A communication block,
 a poor performing department,
 frequently occurring conflict between two departments,
 repeated failures of a management system or an organisational process,
 a frequent violation of an organisational norm,
 fall in discipline,
 reduction in output absenteeism, increase in conflicts etc.

TREY
research
PERSPECTIVES OFORGANISATIONALANALYSIS
Organisational diagnosis could be organised in different
perspectives: These relate to the purpose of the diagnosis and
professional background of the persons conducting it. Some
perspectives are:
1. Economics Perspective
2. Political Science Perspective
3. Sociology and Social Psychology Perspective
4. Management Perspective
36

TREY
research
PERSPECTIVES OFORGANISATIONALANALYSIS
5. The OD or Applied Behavioral Science Perspective
 The OD Perspective focuses on the human process dimensions of
organisations’ functioning
 These include the roles of the individual, the team work and inter-team
collaborations, organisational culture and climate
 Focuses on examining values, attitudes, norms, systems and processes
in an organisation.

• What are organisational diagnostic models:
• They are tools for assessing organisations’ current level of functioning in
order to:
 understand problems
 identify underlying causes
 design appropriate interventions for change and improvement
(Harrison and Shirom, 1999).
 They are also used to determine organisation’s readiness for change
They are used to determine where the organisation is now, where it
wants to reach.

KURT LEWIN’S FORCE FIELD MODEL (1951)
Add a footer 42
Lewin identified two forces as
influencing the need for change;
 Driving Forces: such as
environmental forces push for
change.
 Restraining Forces: such as
limited resources, stakeholder
buy-in push against change.

TREY
research
 To push for change, driving forces
and restraining forces are first
identified and defined (status
quo);
• Driving forces are those forces
that initiate, encourage and
support the change;
• Restraining forces are those
that work against the change;
• These two forces are ‘pulling’ in
opposite directions;
• Need to increase driving forces
and reduce restraining forces
(stage of disequilibrium);
Then interventions can be applied
to achieve the desired change
(Second stage of equilibrium).

DRIVING FORCES AND RESTRAINING FORCES
FACTOR DRIVING FORCES RESTRAINING FORCES
Management A willing and sophisticated management An unwilling and autocratic management
Employees When employees understand change When there is low education to employees on
change or fear of change affecting employee
status
Technological
Changes
Technological changes in the industry;
e.g. news ways of doing things.
When changing to new technology is expensive
Legislature Demands of legislative instruments; e.g.
law on minimum capital requirements of
banks
Laws may make it difficult of an organisation to
implement a change
Competition Competitors may lead the way in forcing
an organisaton to also adopt some
changes
Lack of competition may slow down the need for
change.

System 1: Exploitative-Authoritative
1. Decision-making and responsibility at upper levels
of the organisational hierarchy
2. Little to no trust in employees
3. Decisions and roles are imposed on employees
4. Employees cannot openly discuss decisions and
roles with managers
5. Employees may engage in counter-productive
behaviour
6. Motivation by punishments and threats - play on
fear
7. Teamwork and communication are minimal
System 2: Benevolent-Authoritative
• Decision-making extended to middle-managerial
levels
• More trust towards employees, though somewhat
condescendingly
• Responsibility still lies near the top of the hierarchy
• Limited employee consultation on decisions
• Employees still cannot discuss their roles with
managers
• Team members may compete for rewards
• Rewards for performance, but also still a threat of
punishment
• Teamwork and communication are minimal

System 3: Consultative Group
e
1. Decision-making extended to lower-levels when it
significantly affects their role
2. Substantial trust in employees
3. Responsibility often shared with some team
members
4. Decisions can be formed through employee
consultation processes
5. Employees discuss job-related issues horizontally,
and sometimes vertically
6. Teams are more co-operative - communication and
teamwork are good
7. Motivation primarily through reward, but
sometimes punishment
System 4: Participative Group
• Decision-making, responsibility and values are free-
spread across all tiers
• Complete confidence and trust in all employees
• Decisions are formed through group participation
and consultation
• Communication is free and managers actively try to
understand issues
• Employees are co-operative and openly accountable
• Motivation is provided through monetary rewards
and involvement in goal-setting
• Teamwork, satisfaction and therefore productivity,
are high

Nadler and Tushman apply the concept of congruence to their
model. They describe congruence, or fit as
“the degree to which the needs, demands, goals, objectives, and/or
structures of one component are consistent with the needs,

component”
(i.e., how well pairs of components fit together).
For example, a task demands a level of skill and knowledge and
likewise, the individuals available to perform the task possess
varying levels of skill and knowledge.

Nadler and Tushman (1980) explain that the greater the skill and
knowledge match between the task and the individual, the more
effective the performance will be.

Galbraith’sSTARModel(1982)
One of the most widely-used organizational design frameworks.
A framework for making design choices and decisions on
organizational strategy and execution.
The model includes five design elements:
 strategy, structure, processes, rewards, and people (Galbraith,
These design elements affect:
 the overall direction of the organization
 the nature of leadership
 the flow of information, and
 the competencies and motivation of workers.

According to Galbraith, strategy is a multi-dimensional concept
which can be defined in a number of different ways.
In general, strategy is the means by which an organization intends
on achieving its objectives and goals with respect to improving or
innovating for competitive advantage.
Leaders, in turn, develop and reinforce the organizational
capabilities needed for strategy attainment (Galbraith, 1995; Kates
& Galbraith, 2007).

The Star Model does not specify a specific performance outcome (e.g.,
organizational culture, performance, or effectiveness).
It is a framework for decision making
Culture, for example, is vitally important for any organization, but cannot be directly
controlled by management.
Rather, culture is a manifestation or outcome of the specific design choices made in
an organization.
Likewise, individual, group, and organizational effectiveness and performance are
considered a byproduct of the variables in the model.
The Star Model depicts the organizational design variables that can be directly
controlled by the leadership in an organization.

Stage1:Preparation
1. Inform organisation in time (at least 6 weeks ahead);
2. Write-up or letter sent to organisation outlining the following:
i. Aims and objectives of the OCAT
ii. Draft Programme of Activities
iii. List of documents to be prepared in advance
3. Components of organisation to assess should be agreed with Client-Key departments to
participate in the OCA should include:
i. HR, Finance, Monitoring & Evaluation, Programme implementation and other
relevant depts.
ii. At least a Board member, CEO, and staff at various levels (senior management,

PRINCIPLESOFOCA
1. Participation: Organisational member participation in all processes of OCA such as:
i. Tool development;
ii. Administering of tool;
iii. Scoring and analysing data;
iv. Diagnosing and suggesting interventions;
v. Taking action plans;
vi. Developing a report; and
vii. Monitoring change.
2. Customization: The OCA tool should be customized to meet organisational purpose,
size and processes.
3. Ownership: The high degree of participation of organizations’ staff and
customization of the tool contributes to an increased sense of ownership and
empowerment within organizations using this methodology

4. Communication: OCA is an excellent means of building bridges of
communication and understanding both within and between
organizations.
5. Continuous Learning: The OCA methodology reflects the cyclical nature
of organizational development and the need to continuously revisit
assessment results and action plans to make them a living part of the
organization's change strategy.
6. The good OCA uses a mixture of data collection methodology including
focus group, secondary data, workshops and the tool itself.

THECOMPETINGVALUESFRAMEWORK
Developed in 1983 by R.E. Quinn and J. Rohrbaugh of the University of
Michigan.
Explains the major indicators of effective organisational performance
such as:
organizational effectiveness,
leadership roles and competencies,
organizational culture,
organizational structure,
stages of life cycle development,
financial strategy, and
information processing.

The framework predicts if an organization is performing effectively.
Two Major Dimensions of Framework
One dimension differentiates and emphasises on flexibility, discretion,
and dynamism from an emphasis on stability, order, and control.
This continuum ranges from versatility and pliability on one end to
steadiness and durability on the other end.
The second dimension differentiates an internal orientation with a
focus on integration, collaboration, and unity from an external
orientation with a focus on differentiation, competition, and rivalry.

Together these dimensions form four quadrants.
 Each representing a distinct set of organizational and individual factors
such as:
Organisational effectiveness
Leadership and management competence
Organisational culture
Organisational structure, etc.
These four core values represent opposite or competing assumptions.
Each dimension highlights a core value that is opposite from the value
on the other end of the continuum, e.g. flexibility vs stability, and
internal vs external
The quadrants also highlights opposing values diagonally.
