Organisation
Fitness Profiling (OFP)
A
fit organisation is one capable of effective strategy
implementation, organisational learning and strategy
reformula-
tion
- all of which are necessary to ensure long term
competitiveness. Organisational fitness profiling is a
general
manager
driven process that is meant to align strategy,
organisation, people and culture using an action learning
methodology.
It is the thus a very engaging process that involves broad
based commitment that is both top down as
well
as bottom up. Developed by the Centre For Oraganisation
Fitness USA, it won the Best Practice Award for
Organisational
Development (OD) by the OD Institute USA for its work done
for a leading healthcare organisation.
Its
strategic and organisational objectives are to:
-
Increase
the organisation's and individual manager's ability to
implement current strategy as well as sense and
respond to
new threats and opportunities
-
Define
an integrated management agenda for improvement
-
Mobilise
the organisation to change by creating a partnership
with employees
-
Enable
the strategic leadership to spend more time setting
the strategic direction, develop a context for
actionand energize the organisation to implement
rather than unilaterally deciding and doing
-
Create
accountability for the capabilities of the
organisation and its people
-
Develop
capacity to inquire into hidden barriers to
effectiveness
