This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Smart Organizational Design PowerPoint presentation, outlines the "Smart Design" approach to organizational design (OD), emphasizing the dual focus on organizational levers and behaviors. It asserts that effective OD is not solely about structural elements like roles and responsibilities,, but also about understanding how behaviors influence performance. The top section identifies common approaches, listing organizational levers such as structures, metrics, and processes, alongside smart simplifications like communication and training.
The slide further delves into the relationship between organizational levers and performance outcomes. It highlights an underlying assumption that organization levers directly determine results. However, it points out a critical error: without grasping how these levers affect behavior, the actual outcomes remain unclear, leading to unintended consequences. This suggests a gap in conventional approaches that may overlook the behavioral aspect.
The lower section shifts focus to the role of behaviors in determining performance. It posits that understanding why people behave in certain ways is essential for managing performance effectively. The lesson learned here is clear: to navigate change successfully, leaders must comprehend the behaviors at play and the rationales behind them.
Overall, this slide serves as a compelling reminder that organizational design should integrate both structural and behavioral elements to drive performance. It encourages leaders to rethink traditional methods and consider a more holistic approach that accounts for the complexities of human behavior in organizational settings.
This slide is part of the Smart Organizational Design PowerPoint presentation.
