“People make or break business results”
Organisations run hard to keep up with rapidly changing
market pressures, technological developments, the demands
of customers and the growing need to work across different
national and corporate cultures.
Increasingly they have to learn to change and adapt
very quickly and at very short notice and yet at the
same time retain a clear sense of their identity and
long term strategic purpose. The issue of strategic
capability is of particular importance when the organisation
is developing its activities across national and organisational
frontiers, for example through M&A, strategic alliances
or moving into new international markets. Central to
meeting this challenge is the need to have the right
people with the appropriate skills and talents in order
to minimise the gaps between organisational objectives
and the ability of its people to deliver these objectives,
both now and in the future.
The WorldWork approach to OD therefore focuses on five
key areas of international organisation development:
- Aligning the roles and competencies of key international
managers with the strategic objectives of the company
- Assessing the existing capabilities and potential
of employees to work effectively in different intercultural
situations
- Designing and implementing development initiatives
to maximise the international capabilities of the
talent pool available in the company
- Modifying or creating sustainable international
succession strategies
- Applying and integrating specific WorldWork tools
and activities in a way that complements and supports
existing processes
The WorldWork team includes specialists (see ‘about
us’) who have worked in complex joint ventures
and alliances and who understand the challenges that
continually affect international management teams. These
skills are complemented by WorldWork’s Organisational
Development toolset.
