Diagnosing & Developing Organizational Health

The Five Phase Method of Organizational Diagnosis

The first place to begin any organizational change is to conduct a full scale diagnosis. Take a look at my prezi-tation to learn more about why most assessments are too focused and lead you down the wrong path, wasting your time and money. The Five Phase Method can align your business processes in a new way to build multidimensional value.

Drivers of Change:

We need to create a clear business case for Sustainability to act decisively to exploit the opportunities fully and mitigate the risks that sustainability presents. There are three drivers for sustainability:

Internal - Your personal and organizational values will determine your scope of concern about sustainability. Culture and group norms effect what you choose to value.
External Threats - Either regulation by the government, insurers or accreditors, pressure by business partners in the supply and value network, or market pressure for your brand reputation.
Opportunities - New market possibilities like the LOHAS market, reduced costs, new products, and new services are waiting for you, especially when you build closer connections with your stakeholders. You can leverage your company's purchasing power to enable Scope 3 changes through your supply and value network. Also, are you selling a product, or the services of your product?
