Organizational Development Program for a Corporation’s Productivity

Title of the Case:

OD Program for a Corporation’s Productivity

Problems:

1. What practices in the case would be helpful to apply in your organization?
2. How might you modify the practices in the case to better suit your organization?
3. What did you learn overall from the case?

Objectives:

1. To determine the helpful practices in the case that would be applicable in my organization;
2. To adjust the practices in the case to better suit my organization; and
3. To enumerate what I discovered and realized from the case.

Areas of Consideration:     

1. Type of Organization
2. Culture of the Organization
3. People in the Organization

Answer:

1. The practice that piques my interest in the case is on the systematic way of solving the problem in a complete cycle.  When I say complete cycle, from diagnosis to evaluation.

2. It is not easy to solve a problem by just giving the solution without even diagnosing of what’s really the problem or is it the real problem.  It can be likened to a person who got sick and drinks the wrong kind medicine because he was not diagnosed of his real sickness.  I would like to adapt the systematic of solving the problem and implementing as has been done in the case but in our organizational setting.

3. The important realizations I discovered from the case are the following:
1. Systematic way of solving problems prevents loopholes and if there is, it could easily be recognized because of the specific details it has been done; and
2. Everything is a process. Short-cut measures just to save cost would often lead us to a very expensive situation where problem arises because things had to be redone again.  However, if things are done right for the first time then chances are, it will end also right.
