When a Main Enabling Process
is not present or working in your organization...
you will not achieve a Desired Organizational Characteristic
Probably because Leadership Practices are not working
Problem solving a problem?
Professor Kenneth Mackenzie, one of the world's leading experts on leadership and organizational design, has identified in his Holonomic Theory of Organizations the 12 Holonomic Processes [HP] that are the main enabling processes by which the 6 Desired Organizational Characteristics (DOC)are achieved.
Your Holonomic Top Down Assessment indicates that you feel that
HP7. Nurturing and Rewarding Opportunistic and Innovative Problem Solving
is not present or working in your organization.
So, you are not realizing
DOC5. Results Oriented Problem Solving.
The Holonomic Theory of Organizations suggests that the underlying cause might relate to the following leadership Practices not being present or operating:
LP22. Using Organizational Forums
LP25. Nurturing and Rewarding Innovation.
Also, with HP7. Nurturing and Rewarding Opportunistic and Innovative Problem Solving
not present or working, you will probably find that
DOC4. Successful Goal Achievement
is also not present or working.

Remember that this "snapshot" is a preliminary assessment only, designed to illustrate areas where you might have problems.
A full on-line assessment probes in a deeper and more complex manner and provides specific insight and suggestions.
The Organizational Diagnostic Survey On-Line (ODS-OL) we use is the most advanced working technology for assessing organizations and its leadership practices. ODS-OL is based on multiple sources of information. ODS-OL does more than compile and analyze data: ODS-OL will derive conclusions about the results of the assessment and then derive recommendations based on these conclusions.
