Traditional Approaches to Organizational Design PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Smart Organizational Design PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of traditional organizational design approaches, specifically categorizing them into "Hard" and "Soft" methodologies. It highlights the ongoing challenges organizations face in adapting to a rapidly changing business environment, emphasizing that many transformation programs fail to achieve their intended outcomes. This failure is often attributed to reliance on outdated reorganization methods that do not align with the demands of the Digital Age.
The "Hard" Reorganization Approach is rooted in the principles established by Frederick W. Taylor, focusing on structures, processes, systems, and rewards. Taylor's view posits that performance is heavily influenced by these elements, advocating for a controlled environment where human behavior is managed through defined structures and financial incentives. However, the slide notes a significant limitation of this approach: it does not effectively enhance performance levels, indicating a potential disconnect between rigid structures and actual employee engagement.
Conversely, the "Soft" Reorganization Approach draws from Elton Mayo's research, emphasizing the importance of interpersonal relationships and team dynamics. This methodology seeks to motivate employees through initiatives like team-building and training workshops, suggesting that performance is more closely tied to social interactions and emotional support rather than solely economic rewards. The slide underscores that this approach can lead to improved communication and a more engaged workforce.
Overall, the content encourages organizations to reconsider their traditional methods, advocating for a balance between structure and employee autonomy to foster a more effective and responsive organizational environment.
