The Causal Model of Organizational Performance and Change, otherwise known as the Burke-Litwin Model (after its authors), is a framework for understanding organizational change. This model identifies 12 factors of change and argues that there are certain consistent causal linkages among classes of events. It is more robust than the McKinsey 7-S organizational design model, which only captures 7 factors.
This model can be leveraged for the following purposes:
• Analyze Organizational Change
• Understand Organizational Change
• Manage Organizational Change
• Predict Organizational Change
The Causal Model of Organizational Performance and Change is based on Open Systems Theory.
The Causal Model of Organizational Performance and Change delves into the intricacies of organizational dynamics by breaking down change into input, throughput, and output elements. The model emphasizes the importance of external influences on organizational change, making it a comprehensive tool for leaders aiming to navigate complex environments. By understanding the distinct elements of input, throughput, and output, executives can better predict and manage the ripple effects of change within their organizations.
This PPT also highlights the transformational and transactional factors that drive organizational performance. Transformational factors such as leadership, mission and strategy, and organizational culture are explored in depth, providing insights into how these elements shape long-term success. Transactional factors, including management practices, systems, and work unit climate, are also examined, offering a balanced view of both high-level strategic and day-to-day operational influences on performance.
The model's visual representation aids in grasping the hierarchical structure and logical flow of influence among various factors. This clarity allows executives to pinpoint areas requiring intervention and to understand the interconnected nature of organizational elements. The document serves as a practical guide for those seeking to implement structured change initiatives, ensuring that all critical aspects are considered and addressed.
