When organizations are young and very small, they do not have very much structure. As they grow a little larger, structure is most frequently based on functional groups. Thus, production activities are grouped together, as are marketing activities and personnel activities. This organizational form is sufficient when all the organization's activities are focused on one product or service and if change is gradual.
It is task groupings that illustrate how the static elements of structure are used in any organization. Positions can be grouped together based on quite different logics that often serve quite different purposes. Tasks can be grouped according to shared expertise or function, process, product, time horizon, or geographical location.
A systems look at organizational performance measurement has become one of the most important management tools for continuous improvement effort available to top managers today. This tool provides feedback and responses to the questions regarding how well the organization is performing, whether it has met its stated objectives, and how much it has improved. The measurements this system produces play a vital role in providing insight to the decision-makers about the effectiveness of any management interventions.
A Five-Step Process to Develop a Holistic Perspective
The successful development of this systems perspective can be described as this five-step process.
Prepare the top management team to plan. Here they will consider the mission, vision, values, current performance levels, and any past initiatives or improvement interventions.
Develop the goals and objectives.
Complete the planning and Implementation with consideration to problem solving and the structure of the organization.
Determine the specifics of the performance improvement measurement component.
Define the accountability mechanism with consideration describing the timing and content of the regular review sessions and the rewards and recognition policies that will apply.
Since this process if referring to the top management, a common thread throughout this time is management visibility and leadership by example where the top management is modeling the behavior they are seeking to establish throughout the organization.
