Framework Development and Evaluation
The formal and informal frameworks established within organizations outline the structure, processes and practices by which an organization operates within it's environment. ODR assist in maximizing the effectiveness of those frameworks that support the performance of the people. We ensure formal and informal frameworks provide direction and org anise, manage and integrate data into useful categories for quantitative and qualitative measurement of organizational intelligence. We establish and evaluate mechanisms for the accumulation of a knowledge base from which to learn, adapt and navigate through sometimes turbulent periods.
Whether designing and implementing evidence-based systems that reinforce expectations for sustaining new behaviours, mapping those processes that manage knowledge and assure the rapid uptake of best practices, or collecting evidence regarding progress and facilitating the removal of barriers, we determine the coherency and synergies of these frameworks. We are skilled at mapping the relationships between elements of the systems such as purpose, strategy, control systems, reward systems and culture to sustain the implementation of system level performance.
The field of sustainability is emerging and being redefined at a rapid pace. Diverging and extending from the triple bottom line focus, recent definitions include all aspects of the systems, processes and practices that support organizational viability in current and future markets. Combining traditional models focused on financial strength with more recent research indicating that human capital is becoming a more important source of competitive advantage, we devise sustainability activities and strategies and embed these in the organizational culture to enable results.
Each organizational environment presents with a unique set of factors that systematically support long term stakeholder value. ODR consultants therefore approach each assignment with a view to identifying those unique set of factors critical to its success and viability. From this defined operating environment we develop models and integrate systems that support a long term perspective. Comparing and contrasting existing and prospective missions, major activities, stakeholders and their expectations, performance objectives, resources and constraints, we evaluate the adequacy of current organizational structures and systems to support a paradigm shift from business as usual to sustainable business.

Navigating stakeholder concerns and expectations is a differentiating factor in the viability and therefore sustainability of both private and public sector organizations. As stakeholders continue to evolve their influence, knowledge and potential value to organizations, ODR assists in developing an approach to systematically manage these important resources within the organization's strategic framework. We design methods to leverage this potential for real business value, seize business opportunities, anticipate emerging issues and manage these more proactively. In effect, we assist the achievement of sharper execution through a focus on long term stakeholder value. Establishing and/or evaluating current state communication frameworks and engagement channels, ODR supports our clients in designing and delivering effective internal and external engagement and tactical management mechanisms. Extracting the effective traditional structural frameworks involved in shaping behaviours and activities and the sometimes intangible actuality of communication processes arising within an organization, we provide a more representative snapshot of organizational life. |
We empower organizations by facilitating constructive consultation, effective large group deliberation and collaborative meetings that lead to clear outputs. We assist in the systematic mapping of stakeholder demands and concerns and prioritize them according to their (potential) impact. We develop viable responses and facilitate the selection of the right media for engagement to galvanize stakeholders into positive and aligned action and advocacy.
We provide stakeholder consultation and engagement services for project and program success and are most effective in assisting in navigating the implementation of a controversial and/or radical/transformational change management program of any size and scale.

Together with planning, capability and policy frameworks, one of the key factors integrating linkages between all elements of an organizational system is the Performance Management System (PMS). This critical system creates the context for goal setting, appraisal and performance evaluation, enabling analysis, measurement and communication of success indicators across all levels of the organization. ODR designs tailored performance frameworks that identify and track the specific factors contributing to the achievement of organizational objectives. Our approach aligns, integrates, embeds and monitors inter dependencies and behavioural change, mapping responsibility, accountability and decision making authorities. Our processes incorporate assurance mechanisms to align behaviours, address performance obstacles, eliminate duplication and promote consistency so that resources are applied efficiently and staff are engaged and retain ownership. Our in-depth experience with competency frameworks allows us to establish specific behavioural indicators including those critical attitudinal components that facilitate, or when not managed, prevent high performance. Driving sustainable performance, our approach extends beyond system or process roll out, to clearly communicated expected objectives that transparently map and track the required data against required results throughout every level of the organization. |

ODR assists in devising the best fit implementation of innovation practices for the long term strategy of an organization and its unique environment.
