“A group of sequenced and
planned actions or occasions intended
to assist the organisation increase its effectiveness”.
Within an od intervention the whole process of diagnosis, alternative generation and making action choices jointly conducted and od may also examine the entire process of such diagnosis, action planning and implementation.
Criteria for Effective Interventions:
In OD three major criteria define the potency of an intervention:
1. The Level that it (the Intervention) fits the requirements of the business.
2. The amount that it is dependant on causal understanding of intended outcomes
3. The level that the OD intervention transfers change-management competence to organization people.
Information-based Intervention
Interventions that comprise : Activities that specify or clarify the vision, mission, purpose, process, products, services, market position, roles, relationships, responsibilities, outcomes, expectations, and so forth. Examples: holding sessions to produce vision statements confirming market direction and market niche mutually setting performance goals. This intervention is delivered when individuals are unclear, disagree, and have different expectations you will find conflicting objectives or people don't possess a shared understanding.
Interventions that inform: Activities that communicate goals, objectives, expectations, results, discrepancies, and so forth. Examples: producing internal newsletters holding debriefing sessions giving feedback. This intervention is delivered when information has altered, the folks have altered, or even the individuals are naive, and also the consequence is poor performance or individuals don't obtain the information they require.
Interventions that document: Activities that codify information (to preserve it making it accessible. Examples: establishing libraries creating manuals, expert systems, job aids, and decision guides. This intervention is delivered when details are not accessible with time or perhaps is too complex job aids, manuals, help screens, and so on are missing or insufficient, inaccurate, or difficult to access.
Effects-based Intervention
Interventions that reward: Activities and programs that creates and keep preferred behaviors, eliminate undesirable behaviors, and reward preferred outcomes. Examples: holding public events and annual recognition occasions having to pay for performance. This intervention is delivered when current incentives either reinforce the incorrect behaviors or disregard the preferred behaviors or you will find couple of incentives that people-do beater, more, or differently.
Intervention that measure: Activities and systems that offer metrics and benchmarks so people can monitor performance and also have a basis to judge it. Examples: creating a scorecard tracking means and variance in performance with time. This intervention is delivered when individuals don?t understand what criteria are used to evaluate productivity, performance, value, and so forth, plus they could better control their very own performance when they understood exactly what the criteria were measures of excellent performance are missing or measures are inappropriate.
Interventions that enforce: Activities that actualize effects and get compliance. Example: policing reviewing double-checking suspending removing withholding pay. This intervention is delivered when effects for poor performance or unacceptable behavior are hidden or otherwise enforced.
Design-based Intervention
Interventions that organize: Activities that alter the structure or arrange sections, reporting relationships, work processes, jobs, and tasks. Examples: reengineering processes merging functions reorganizing responsibilities. This intervention is delivered once the current structure is inefficient, leads to redundancy, adds excess costs, excessively burdens cycle occasions, and hides accountability.
Interventions that standardize: Activities that systematize or automate processes and standardize tasks, tools, equipment, materials, components, or measures. Examples: adopting ISO 9000 applying uniform standards. This intervention is delivered when deviations in equipment, materials, specifications, procedures, common practices, and so forth add extra costs, lead to low yields, and cause variance in the caliber of work.
Interventions that (re) design: Activities that lead to helpful, easy-to-use, safe, and ergonomically designed environments, workplaces, equipment, and tolls. Examples: building in complete safety features designing for easy installation, service, maintenance, and upgrading. This intervention is delivered once the current work area, equipment, tools, or materials encumber, lead to non-value adding activity. Or put employees? safety and health in danger.
Interventions that reframe: Activities and programs that generate new paradigms to ensure that people may feel new perspectives, find creative solutions, integrate new concepts to their behavior, and manage change. Examples: challenging assumptions participating in dialogue/ getting into new alliances brainstorming creating alternative futures. This intervention is delivered when old attitudes about work are stopping innovation or growth.
Interventions that counsel: activities and programs which help individuals, either singularly or with each other, cope with work, personal, career, family, and financial issue. Examples: offering on-site daycare, retirement workshops, on-site health and fitness canters, and worker assistance programs. This intervention is delivered when individuals are preoccupied with or depressed by personal and career issues, which is restricting productivity or adding unnecessary costs.
Interventions that develop: Activities and programs that expand skills and understanding. Examples: offering training, coaching, and structured on-the-job encounters. This intervention is delivered when current performance is suffering or future performance are affected because individuals lack skills and understanding
