Organization Improvement through Organization Development Methodology

Gary Harpst • June 15, 2022

An opportunity to prepare your organization for the future.

We shall have no better conditions in the future if we are satisfied with all those which we have at present.

-Thomas Edison

How prepared is your organization for the future?

  • Do you need a process to gather, consider, and act on feedback?
  • Want your top leaders to take ownership of the success of the organization?
  • Looking for a way to analyze external and internal factors of success?
  • Do your strategic planning sessions need more data?

Your team has valuable insights. We can help you leverage them.    

Discipline VI guides your team through a series of best practices to analyze what capabilities you need to fulfill your vision. Here are all the questions you will answer:

  1. Rules of Engagement    |  What ‘air traffic control’ rules do we use to work together?
  2. Best Practice Assessment    |  What improvements need to be made to our management system?
  3. External Analysis    |  What external trends might affect our strategy?
  4. Stakeholder Analysis    |  What are our stakeholders saying to us?
  5. Execution Analysis    |  Are we executing our strategic plan?
  6. Leadership Analysis   |   What leader development priorities should be on our strategic agenda?
  7. Strategic Agenda    |  What are the critical issues for this planning cycle?
