Organizational Vital Signs
The OVS is a focused, practical tool to improve organizational efficacy. It can be seen as a “organizational 360” – instead of evaluating an individual, members of the organization evaluate the organization as a whole.
OVS Applications
Transformation
From new strategy, restructuring, RIF, or M&A, organizations frequently face the need for significant structural change. But the brutal fact is that the vast majority of these efforts fail to produce the desired outcome – usually because people are not on board. The first step to changing that pattern is to understand the current reality. To what degree are your people committed and on board? What’s their level of trust and readiness? Do you have the leadership to drive the change? If not, where are there pockets of opportunity?
Planning
In the past, organizational value was primarily determined by financial and material assets. Some leaders are seeing it differently – they genuinely believe that people are their greatest asset, and they take seriously the responsibility for planning for the development of this resource. In the past, they may have used other tools to collect employee perspective, but it was vague, slow, and cumbersome. OVS quickly provides just enough data to keep the employees on the performance dashboard.
ROI
As described for the TVS, there is a growing need to measure the efficacy of development programs. By using the OVS before and after an intervention, the results become transparent – increasing focus and accountability.
