By blog, March 9, 2010 5:06 pm
They want a high performance organization?
For some time we felt very strongly about high performance, high-performance management and how to achieve high performance will improve your business. Technologically advanced, in fact, today, worldwide high performance is no alternative, is a prerequisite for all companies that wish to grow in coming years. The terminology of high performance sounds pretty simple, ifPerformance at a peak and then the activity should follow that example, and it is so, then it must productivity, profits and competitiveness. Examine how it works.
How the economy works to achieve high performance?
The standard method for achieving high performance in the workplace was from traditional and highly structured model of corporate organization to one that is more organic and flexible breakaway. Within these biological systemsManagers are encouraged to establish teams of workers, creating a shared business objective. Teams are allowed to make decisions and solve problems, monitor and improve their quality, and every employee is seen as a partner.
Utopia people last significant work, employees are respected and reliable flowering of creativity and innovation, improve quality and productivity levels achieved only a few months previously unheard of.Yeah right!
So what really happened? Because the theory has the highest performance achieved so often derailed, if based on sound principles of human behavior and motivation?
The problem is not with the theory, is running!. Our culture is so tied to the traditional model of organization that, despite our best efforts, it is almost impossible to remove traces of managerial control, division of labor, and the reams and reams of policies and procedures, caseEmployees in a way of doing things, and only a possibility. When well-intentioned executives, managers and consultants to obtain a suspension of the concept of creation of high performance management teams are often descriptions of new jobs, set up feedback systems, and create elaborate reward and recognition programs all in an attempt to convince their workers to write their peak, are valued and respected and that their contributions are significant and are valued and rewarded.
Again, all the soundsIdeas, but the problem is that addressing these programs only on the surface of the problems and she does not even begin to persist, the ideas and attack traditional ways. I think about the organizational dynamics like an iceberg, where only 10% of the questions on the profile surface and the majority of which remains hidden and potentially threatening. To get true high-performance job does not convince manager "," employees who are valued, employees know that they are inherentlyValue only by the nature of the work is organized and implemented.
So, what is not in this picture?
The organization that seeks high performance is really nothing more than a traditional organization in disguise. It adopted a new terminology and try some new techniques of human resource management, but the organization has not changed the way we approach the system to work. The work is still tight and defined departmental and management remainsThe control and direction of flow. It can be applied to the surface, like the sound of things have changed, but the workers know what they are doing exactly what they did before, only now are part of a "team" to do so.
A true transition with Human Capital Management (HCM)
Move the only way to true high performance, is a system of human capital management of these aid measures, and make real changes in how human capital (resources) will run. It starts withMeasured the realization and acknowledgment that human capital or intangible assets is as important as your business and how the specific products, human capital, and pay a uniform. So how do you keep your equipment in top shape, you may want to keep people in great shape – ready and able to work were employed to perform. Just as you are looking for investment opportunities for your financial capital to grow, then you need to invest in yourHuman capital and give them the opportunity to grow.
By participating and enable understanding of the needs of your staff to fulfill their own abilities. This capability offers maximum productivity high and that when it really is a 'high-performance organization.
High performance is as important as possible. This is a process that begins with the change in philosophy and ends with practical solutions that lead to significant improvements achieved in the organization of workhow the work is done, and the amount of work is achieved. Effective human capital management practices, including the way across the organization and operation, as the accounts for the workers managed to see a natural connection to high-performance management that companies emerge as healthy, successful, and also create highly competitive.

The Importance of Continuity and Disaster Recovery in an Organization
By blog, March 8, 2010 5:57 am
Continuity and disaster recovery is one aspect that a company has to focus on to have effective and successful operations most of the time. This would assure them that in the event of any kind of disaster, their business would be able to remain fully functional and operational.
Unfortunately, business owners simply cannot tell as to when disaster would strike. That is why they would have to be prepared with a plan that would make sure that all the operations and transactions of the company would be able to pull through. Such a plan is referred to as a Business Continuity Planning or BCP. It is a methodology, used in the creation and validation of a logistical plan as to how the organization would be able to recover or restore the critical functions, which have been interrupted, all within a specified timeframe after the disaster or an extended disruption.
In other words, the BCP would be how the organization will prepare for any future unfortunate incidents, which might jeopardize the missions and goals of the company. These unfortunate incidents could be natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, or fires or epidemic diseases.
The BCP is also considered as part of the overall learning strategies of the organization, which would be able to minimize any operational risks due to possible issues in the information management controls. The process could also be incorporated in the company’s plan to improve information security, as well as in their reputation risk management practices.
More and more companies strive to establish a good BCP, as they aim to be able to create a foundation for the comprehension, development and implementation of the continuance of normal business operations in an organization, thus providing conference in all business relations that they engage in.

Five Steps to Effectively Managing Organizational Change
By blog, March 7, 2010 5:39 am
An organization is, quite simply, any group of individuals who come together to try to achieve mutual goals by means of a division of labor. This is done by means of setting goals that will further the organization’s growth and viability within the existing social and economic milieu as well as developing agreements among the people comprising the organization as to who will do what and when and under whose supervision and guidance.
When contemplating changing anything about these arrangements, it is well to be advised to start at the beginning of why and how this existing arrangement came to be and why it exists at the current time. After all, what has come to be accepted and observed as the standard operating procedures of an organization came about for good reasons and have been effective at achieving beneficial results for a period of time (perhaps a very long period of time). Altering an accepted, comfortable and heretofore useful way of doing things is challenging. The initial challenge that presents itself is fully comprehending and appreciating the foundational narrative of the organization and the collective experiences that members have shared since its inception. In other words, what of its past makes the organization tick today?
After coming to a thorough understanding of what makes the current organization tick, there are five steps that need to be taken sequentially in order to effect effective change.
1. The first step to take in initiating change within any type of organization is to create acute awareness of how things are now and how this state of affairs falls short of accomplishing stated goals and objectives. This can be done by disseminating occasional “state of the organization” reports as well as holding brief, but frequent, “progress report” meetings within each department and/or subgroup.
2. The second step is to nurture understanding that something must be done to change the current situation. Solicitation of input from coworkers regarding what can be done to change things follows logically from the understanding that something should be done. “Input equals buy-in” and those who contribute their ideas on how their organization should change have a strong investment in making that change happen.
3. Next, although people may provide suggestions as to how to change, unless there is a sense of urgency to do so, change will be perceived merely as a concept rather than a process that needs to be started immediately. Once change is understood as needing to be accomplished, a positive perception of what it will look like, both in terms of the transition process and the “finished product,” needs to be fostered and fed by constant communication about the shared vision of the future and the specific ways everyone will individually benefit in that new reality.
4. On the way to making the changed environment and operating procedures “stick” and stay feasible throughout the organization, there needs to be a well-thought-out program to ensure the actual adoption of the changes in the way things are done. Rewarding those who perform in the new ways and telling the stories of how their results better meet the current needs and accomplish the goals of the organization will go a long way to moving all members toward behaving in the “new and better” way.
5. Once adopted as “the way things are done around here” change can be seen as having been institutionalized within the organization and established as the new standard for performance and measurement of success, recognition and reward. Continue to solicit feedback on the new ways and request still other ways members can improve their respective job tasks to achieve even greater levels of efficiency. The idea is to leverage the experience and ideas of those who do the job to improve the job on a continuous basis. Institutionalizing new and improved ways of doing things in an organization is an ongoing process. In other words, managing organizational change means to continually insist on change for the better.
Knowing the roots of the organization, where and when it arose and how it’s progressed over time, and then engaging in the five steps to initiating and managing organizational change, you will successfully guide your organization through its transition from where it is now to where it needs to be for greater effectiveness and better results.
