This PPT slide, part of the 21-slide Organizational Behavior PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the "Smart Design" approach to organization design, emphasizing the interplay between organizational levers and behaviors. It outlines that traditional organizational levers—such as structures, processes, metrics, and incentives—are critical,, but they must be understood in the context of how they influence behavior. The slide suggests that behaviors are not just outcomes of these levers; they are central to driving organizational performance.
The left section lists common approaches to organization design, highlighting the structural elements and performance management tools typically employed. However, the right section introduces a simplified view, indicating that effective communication and training are also essential components. This shift towards understanding behaviors is crucial, as it suggests that merely implementing structural changes or metrics will not yield desired results without considering the human element.
Key assumptions are stated, such as the belief that organizational levers directly determine results. The slide warns of the error in neglecting the influence of these levers on individual behavior, which can lead to unintended consequences. Understanding why people behave the way they do is framed as essential for effective management. The lesson learned is clear: to drive meaningful change, leaders must grasp the underlying behaviors and motivations of their workforce.
This slide serves as a foundational perspective for organizations looking to enhance their performance through a more nuanced understanding of both structural and behavioral dynamics.
This slide is part of the Organizational Behavior PowerPoint presentation.
