Making Businesses Future Ready - Purpose,People and Processes
The OD interventions of are fundamentally designed to invoke a sense of higher purpose and ownership in doing our jobs. Classically organizational development programmes (OD) are interventions designed to analyse and build a firm’s capabilities across all levels in the organization. The main goal of an OD project is to build future readiness and address certain existential challenges too.
The aspects that are usually considered while designing an OD project include the business goals as well as the cultural goals. Looking at these two separately as well as in combination helps shape the mindset of the people. They are key parameters to ensure the success of the OD project and better performance of the resources. The model could be top-down or bottom-up. OD projects are usually long-term – one to three years. In recent times, even the MSMEs have started considering OD projects to build future readiness.
OD projects are a mix of training, coaching, one-on-one sessions, inspirational meet-ups, project works, etc. The goal is to create an urgency, focused on change. When starting an OD project, business leaders anticipate the challenges and opportunities and then use them to build roadmaps. OD projects help train people and turn goals into achievable milestones.
For example, when preparing for a cricket world, the team needs a lot of interventions – to set a regime, build strength and mindset, and bring on their A-game. To make the team winning-ready there has to be efforts borne by both the coach and the team. The case is similar for businesses. OD is focused on building future readiness systematically, which helps methodically build action points to avoid missing a timeline for achieving a goal.

However, the truth is different. OD cannot be treated as a result. It helps generate efforts that are key in generating the desired results. The hope of compelling everyone to change is impractical. What OD encourages is to use the learnings to mix into the organizational culture and slowly include everyone in it. OD is not the building, it is the foundation that encourages growth and development. OD isn’t the end, it is a means, a catalyst. The speed in which the leaders will be able to witness the success of the projects depend solely on the dreams and goals of the key stakeholders.
