Organizational Interventions and Development

Question: Read the assigned chapters and the Broadnax article. In this real life example of an organizational development challenge, the leaders at both Providence Hospitals and St. Vincent Charity Medical Center articulated the objective as to create an environment where employees could maximize their contributions and performance. In addition, each of the hospitals emphasized different leadership challenges. Broadnax describes her approach and explains what did and did not work. In a small group discussion, address the following: 1.The stated objective was a very broad and hard to measure. If you could amend the objective for your own organization or another one with which you are familiar, how would you specifically articulate the objective and how would you know if you were successful? 2.To what extent were the organizational development interventions used in this case effective? 3.Which OD strategies and/or essential training and development topics were effectively used, and which might you have employed to achieve the objective or address the challenges of these two organizations?3 4.How did application of change management techniques affect the outcome? Answer: 1. The stated objectives for the organizations namely as St. Vincent Charity Medical Center are vital in terms of organizational improvement and overall progress ("SHRM Online - Society for Human Resource Management", 2016). In order to incorporate the required objectives in any other organization certain key factors such as role of the leader, recruitment, development, strategic goal plans, employee engagements, responsibility of every individual should be measured.After implementation of the key objectives if the financial department found commercial benefit then, the objectives will be said to be successful. 2. The organizational development interventions used in this case are effective enough and that are extended to quite extent. The leadership behavior enhanced the overall employee productivity and the engagement (Pynes Lombardi, 2011). The process improvement eliminates all the unnecessary efforts and it maximizes the efficiency of the organization. It increases the in house training and development program. 3. From several development programs the employment engagement and leadership training and development processes were effectively used in this topic. In order to achieve the pre decided objectives for the two organizations Sisters of Charity Health Systemand St. Vincent Charity Medical Center need to acquire organizational change and friendly environment to the employees to maximize their contributions to the organizations ("SHRM Online - Society for Human Resource Management", 2016). 4. Due to the adaptation of the change management certain changes are identified that affect the outcome. Past experiences, coaching training programs helped a lot. An experienced trainer is recruited who helped to rolling out the complete program (Swayne, Duncan Ginter, 2012). Appropriate decision making processes are adopted for subsequent and positive outcomes. Friendly environment to create better working relationship among the coworkers also affected the application of the organization.
