Creating Smarter People for Smarter Businesses

Organisational Development

The main thrust of our strategic Organisational Development approach with clients is to provide the management with information to enable them to monitor efficiency and effectiveness, and to provide them with insights as to potential competitive advantage. However, OD cannot be considered in a vacuum; business strategy and organisational structure need to be an integral part of the process. Organisational issues relate to the roles of individuals and their capacity for change, particularly when faced with the potentially radical change. To achieve successful change companies should consider the wider social, cultural and political environment of the organization.

WBS is highly experienced in its organisational development work. We have the knowledge, expertise and track record to help companies and organizations achieve lasting change or radically improve service delivery. Our record is of guiding and supporting the thinking, planning and delivery of change and we have the ability to understand our client’s challenges from the inside, is what sets us apart from our competitors. We work in a strategic, practical way, with partners who have first-hand experience. Our approach involves dealing with causes rather than symptoms; working with and changing the whole rather than a part; creating real change by focusing on organisational culture not just individual behaviour. We take a genuine OD approach, giving equal prominence to structures, systems and processes, and to culture, values, and new ways of working and thinking.

Our main experience of working within organisations is to deliver culture change and organisational improvement. We have development of partnerships approaches to efficiency in service delivery; provide skills development on OD techniques at strategic, operational and expert level, and through our partners. We have also created toolkits and resource documents which provide advice on OD techniques, working in a commercial or political environment or in community engagement.
