组织诊断BL模型的运用

企业在经营过程中的利润及持续发展能力受到很多因素的影响,有外在的因素也有内在的因素,这些因素影响的强度有多大,因素之间的有什么相互关系,企业在经营过程中有一定的认知,但据顾问的经验来看,企业不可能从组织行为学的角度去了解影响企业健康的关键因素,从而进行有针对性管理模式调整,达到提升企业健康水平的目的。

西方学者对组织行为学进行深度实证研究,并提出了BL组织诊断模型其全称为Burke-Litwin Causal Model of Organizational Performance and Change (B-L Model),及组织变革与绩效的因果关系模型,模型从相互关联的12个维度对企业的经营内外环境进行了描述,通过问卷与访谈的方式,阐述现实状况中企业外部环境、战略目标愿景、领导能力、企业文化、组织、管理实践、制度、技能与岗位的匹配、工作氛围、个人需求与价值、动机、组织与个人绩效这12个关键因素相关性,确定对绩效影响最大的因素,确定需要提升的方向,从而为企业的制度文化建设提供精确的指南。

世界500强企业中,有超过50%的企业每年都要进行组织诊断研究,并将结果与上一年的结果进行比较,明确哪些方面需要提高、哪些方面与去年向比较有所降低,BL模型被企业形象的称为企业的CT机,透过这套系统可以发现企业管理中的问题,并在顾问的帮助下进行系统的提升,从而达到持续健康成长的目标。

组织诊断模型(Organizational Diagnostic Models)综述

从上世纪50年代对组织行为学研究的兴起,西方学者提出了一系列的组织诊断模型,包括:Force Field Analysis (1951)、Leavitt’s Model (1965)、 Likert System Analysis (1967)、 Open Systems Theory (1966)、 Weisbord’s Six-Box Model (1976)、Congruence Model for Organization Analysis (1977)、McKinsey 7S Framework (1981-82)、Tichy’s Technical Political Cultural (TPC) Framework (1983)、 High-Performance Programming (1984)、Diagnosing Individual and Group Behavior (1987)、The Burke-Litwin Model of Organizational Performance & Change。

(一) McKinsey 7S Framework

顾问公司常用的是McKinsey 7S Framework,从structure, strategy, systems, skills, style, staff, and shared values等七个方面对组织营运进行研究分析,但忽略了对组织外部环境的分析, 因此一般将7S作为内部营运分析的工具。

(二)Burke-Litwin Model of Organizational Performance & Change

目前国外常用的组织诊断中工具Burke-Litwin Model of Organizational Performance & Change,BL模型建立一种组织绩效的因果关系,包括组织变量有12个,在总结以往组织诊断模型的基础上基于OD实证研究建立。

12个组织变量包括:

External Environment

External conditions or situations that influence the performance of the organization, e.g.,

technology, budgets, customer requirements, and economic conditions.

Mission/Strategy

Central purpose of the organization and the approaches it uses to achieve its goals.

Leadership

How executives provide the overall direction to the organization.

Organization Culture

Beliefs, values (as well as overt and covert rules) of the organization that guide organizational

behavior.

Structure

The arrangement of functions and people to organize labor, define authority, and establish

decision making processes.

Management Practices

The day-to-day behavior of managers that is directed at organizing people and resources to

achieve the organization’s goals.

Systems

Standardized policies and processes to facilitate work, e.g., information management, rewards,

planning and budgeting.

Skills/Job Match

Skills and abilities, as well as the required work behaviors to accomplish the work.

Work Unit Climate

Employees’ perceptions of how their local unit is managed and how effectively employees and

colleagues work together.

Individual Needs and Values

Psychological factors that provide desire and worth for individual actions and thoughts.

Motivation

The desire to achieve goals, take action, and persist until satisfaction is attained.

Individual and Organizational Performance

The outcome of work performance, effort, and achievement, e.g., productivity, customer

satisfaction, service quality, and mission goals.

组织变量之间存在因果关系,并且经过国外学者的实证研究得到一定程度的证实,但缺乏跨文化的实证研究资料。运用模型可以深度了解组织绩效影响因素,尤其是对民营企业而言,以便针对性的设计组织改进方案,提高组织的赢利同时改进组织的管理系统。

流程分类方法

在进行流程优化设计时,流程的分类是头疼的问题,基于价值链(value chain) 进行的分类,是常用的一种分类方法。

在90年代中期,麦肯锡提出了core business process 的概念,所谓core business process 指导向客户端的流程,是价值链中直接提供企业增值的部分,因此也是流程优化的重点。但企业作为整体发挥作用,除了核心业务流程外,其他的流程同样具有重要的作用,不进行优化必然与已经优化的核心业务流程产生冲突,怎样界定其他的企业流程成为研究流程的关键。

有的学者提出了一二三级流程的概念,但对流程分级概念理解不统一,认为价值链为一级流程,支撑系统为二级流程,工作程序为三级流程,从流程范围看,这样的分类似乎是合理的,但从企业运作系统看,这样的分类无法界定流程的范围及流程涵盖的职能区域。有的文献对流程分类顾问认为更适合在流程优化项目中使用,其对流程的分类界定如下:

Primary processes are those that produce the company’s products or services. They therefore are known also as production processes. They deal with cases for the customer. As a rule, they are the processes that generate income for the company, and are clearly customer-oriented. Sometimes the customer is not yet known, as when firms produce to stock. Examples of primary processes are the purchase of raw materials and components, the sale of products and services, design and engineering, and production and distribution.

Secondary processes are those that support the primary ones. They therefore are also known as support processes. One important group of secondary processes concentrates upon maintaining the means of production: the purchase and maintenance of machinery, vehicles, and premises. A comparable group of processes is that involving personnel management: recruitment and selection, training, work appraisal, pay rolls, and dismissal. Financial administration is also a secondary process, as is marketing.

Tertiary processes are the managerial processes that direct and coordinate the primary and secondary processes. During these, the objectives and preconditions within which the managers of the other processes must operate are formulated, and the resources required to carry out the other processes are allocated. The managerial processes also encompass the maintenance of contacts with financiers and other stakeholders.

采用这样的流程分类方法,在流程优化项目的建议书阶段,与客户商讨确定流程优化的范围,同时在流程优化项目中,采用这样的流程分类更有利于形成企业整体的流程体系。

国企组织优化的困扰

国有大型企业具有与民营企业完全不同的特点,大型国有企业在产业格局中一般处于寡头垄断地位,市场的力量几乎波及不到,为大型国有企业进行组织优化咨询,由于其具有这样特点,进行组织优化确实有很多困惑;

其一、国有企业的组织目标是什么?是最大化的获取利润?还是承担更多的社会责任?这是组织设计的出发点,没有明确的组织目标,就无法进行组织优化设计,明确组织设计的出发点往往很困难。

其二、组织分析工具,如7S模型、BL模型、价值链模型、行业竞争五力模型等咨询工具基于市场竞争环境提出的,在国有企业中怎么运用这些组织分析工具?

其三、组织承接战略,而战略来自于上级公司的战略设计,最终来自于发改委的政策,咨询公司能够做的无非是在上级公司的战略框架下进行组织设计,结合目前组织管控模式中存在的问题,提出建议方案。基于战略分析的组织设计,在这种组织中是没有价值的。那么顾问公司在这种项目中的价值体现在哪里?

所有的困惑都来自于国企本身的特点,顾问公司的组织优化设计重点往往在提高组织的盈利能力,而国企的组织目标远比单纯的盈利复杂,是顾问公司不可能完全了解的。

修改inove主题侧边栏

INOVE是WP下载最多的主题之一,其强大的功能不用说,但为了使空间更具有个性化,将INOVE的主题给修改了,去掉了东西sitebar,使其更具有个性些。

修改的方法是在网上查询到的,在本机实验成功后,再到空间上操作,其方法如下:

打开sidebar php,将以下代码完整删除

<!– meta –>

<div>

<h3>Meta</h3>

<ul>

<?php wp_register(); ?>

<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>

</ul>

</div>

去掉meta功能

在sidebar.php,找到以下代码

<!– categories –>

<div>

<h3>Categories</h3>

<ul>

<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=0&depth=1’); ?>

</ul>

</div>

将其剪切到以下这些代码的上面

<!– tag cloud –>

<div id=”tag_cloud” class=”widget”>

<h3>Tag Cloud</h3>

<?php wp_tag_cloud(‘smallest=8&largest=16’); ?>

</div>

保存,OK

企业导师制(Mentorship)建立

在市场竞争日益激烈的今天,企业的生存关键在于员工的素质,所以企业开始花费大量的成本培训员工,以希望员工具有高于市场平均熟练程度的技能,来保持企业本身的竞争能力。

但是,许多企业在花费巨额成本培训之后却发现培训,尤其是外部培训效果及技能转换十分困能,这使得企业反思对员工培训方法问题,于是在HRD(人力资源开发)运动的后期,出现了workplace learning 以其更为朴实的内涵代替了空洞的HRD,而导师制作为WLP的最常用方法,受到了企业的高度认可,目前世界500强中,几乎都建立了企业导师制,以帮助员工更为快速成长。

我们从希腊与中国的故事来说明什么是导师;

The Greeks:

In Greek mythology, when Odysseus left home on long voyages, he asked Mentor to watch over his son, Telemachus. Not a mere babysitter, Mentor gave the boy his support, guidance, wisdom, patience, protection, love, and blessing.

The Chinese:

Ancient Chinese kings used a mentoring process called Shan Rang to pass the crown to a successor. Literally, Shan Rang means “the enlightened stepping aside to create room in the center for the next deserving person to step in and take charge.”

总之:导师就是企业中,经验丰富的资深人士,作为受到信任的指导者参与学员的发展目标设定,并通过关键技能的传授观察及反馈等方式,帮助学员实现其发展目标。

企业导师制就是在企业组织面上,使企业内部资深人士发挥导师作用的一整套管理系统。

企业建立导师制的条件是初步建立了企业的人力资源管理系统,如绩效、培养、能力i系统,以及初步的知识管理系统。

导师制与传帮带明显的不同点在于辅导内容双方确定认可、学员可以选择不同方向的导师、导师制辅导过程规范、效果评估科学,整个导师过程组织成立委员会进行政策性管理。

建立导师思考的步骤为:

Selected mentor
Mentorship Evening
Creating the matches
Mentoring process
Evaluation

 

其中困最难在于对导师的评估以及对整个辅导效果的评估,为此,针对导师制的过程,设计了三个层次的评价体系,基于学员的评价体系、基于导师与学员双方的对过程的评价体系,基于导师对整个过程的评价体系,以保证对效果评价的真实客观性。对导师的管理,必须建立在能力模型的框架下,对导师的几项与培养他人的能力进行有效的评估,保证导师具有必要辅导技能。其次是要根据企业实际,将导师制融入实际工作中,对优秀的导师给予精神与物质奖励,对优秀的学员给予更多的职业发展机会,同时建立机制防止导师制被滥用,成为企业政治斗争的工具。

质性分析工具NVivo简介

质性分析(Qualitative analysis)是对研究对象进行的一种解释性研究(expiatory research )分析的过程,通常用于心理学及管理咨询业领域。

在管理咨询项目中,顾问通常会进行各种访谈,有的是为了验证一种假设,而有的是为了探究问题的原因,对后一种访谈形成的文件,采用质性分析软件进行分析,可以节省顾问很多时间,同时可以得到更为准确的结论。

目前,通常采用的软件为NVivo8.0版,由澳洲La Trobe大学Lyn Richards教授开发,软件具有极强的信息处理能力,不仅能处理WORD,PDF等格式的文档,还能处理录音与录像资料。在第一次使用时,对原来的一篇访谈记录进行了编码分析,通过对节点、自由节点的初步分析,勾划出访谈的整个逻辑思路,不仅得到了样本的一些详细的倾向性的意见,而且得到了包括子样本的倾向性的意见。

NVivo8.0版最大的特点是强有力的检索和构建能力,但由于软件的核心模块对汉语识别可能还是存在问题,目前其模型构建的能力还有待验证,但其优良的信息检索能力是无可置疑的。

Emotional factor toward change

Client motion during transformation depends on how you design the process and method you use.

Now I involved in a project to design performance management system for big state-own enterprise which the resistance is so strong that everyone openly opposed the project at the beginning. Due to adapt difference method client fully involved in and become constructive. During the diagnostic research, we do not find problems with existing system; on the contrary, we try to find deep root course make client succeeded in the past and what they want to go in the future. On the focus group everyone talk proudly and openly and help us to redefine problem and even give out solution, and we are so glad to see the transfer take place. Because client find solution, the implementation encounter litter difficult and client fell delighted.

The method we use is one of OD method which called appreciate inquiry(AI), more information:www.appreciate inquiry. com

Change methodology

In practice, I found AI combine with RACI, really can accelerate transformation in large company.

I involved in a project to redesign performance management system for a grid company which the resistance is so strong that everyone openly opposed the project at the beginning. Due to adapt appreciate inquiry(AI), we encounter litter obstacle and the transformation really take place. During the diagnostic research, we do not find problems with existing system; on the contrary, we try to find deep root course make client succeeded in the past and what they want to go in the future. On the focus group everyone talk proudly and openly and help us to redefine problem and even give out solution, and we are so glad to see the transfer take place. Because client fined solution, the implementation encounter litter difficult and client fell delighted. In large scale implementation phase we design RACI strategy in every functional department and the project implementation successfully.

RACI模型在变革管理中的应用

变革设计往往是顾问头疼的问题,怎么系统设计组织变革方案,是项目顺利的关键,在绩效项目实施过程中,采用RACI模型,描述实施进程,取得了一些收获。

RACI是一个用以明确组织变革过程中的各个角色及其相关责任的相对直观的模型。其中英文涵义为:

谁负责(R = Responsible),负责执行任务的角色,具体负责操控项目、解决问题。

谁批准(A = Accountable),对任务负全责的角色,只有经其同意或签署之后,项目才能得以进行。

咨询谁(C = Consulted),在任务实施前或中提供指定性意见的人员。

告知谁(I = Informed),及时被通知结果的人员,不必向其咨询、征求意见。

模型建立方法:将绩效实施过程中的若干重要工作活动及相关利益各方列入矩阵中,顾问与各方人员集体讨论,确定利益各方在绩效变革中的组织角色及职责,明确各方职责及角色之后,在项目计划中体现出来,使各方明确在什么时候进行什么活动

采用RACI模型进行绩效变革实施之后,变革利益各方对实施路径及相关工作任务活动理解深刻,配合良好,避免了很多无效沟通,使项目实施进度及效率大为提高。
