Management is responsible for keeping the organization focused on a common goal. This requires a sound internal organizational structure, well-defined operational processes and a capable workforce. The goal of Organizational Development (OD) is to better organize every aspect of the company by solving internal problems. This leads to a healthy and profitable business that fully utilizes and acknowledges the potential of the workforce. In this manner, business goals are met in a motivating, rewarding and engaging working environment.
Organizational Development (OD) consultants gather and analyze data to assess a current situation that needs improvement. After the assessment of the current situation, suggestions for improvement result into a new design of the situation. The implementation of this design transits the organization from the current into the desired situation, improving overall organization. During all stages of the project, the OD consultant facilitates a bird’s-eye view while working closely together with the executive managers and the employees.

Especially within international SME’s in China, it is not uncommon to have the HQ in Europe or the USA with operations on the ground in China. One might also be dealing with sales and marketing offices located in various places. Work processes are the sequences of tasks that employees are required to do in order to ensure a smooth running operation. Often people work together with colleagues in other departments in the same office and/or overseas offices. Together they perform and fulfill the life-cycle of a work process.
