Vitalizing Work Design: Implementing A Developmental Philosophy
(Executive Summary in Learning Organizations: Developing Cultures
for Tomorrow’s Workplace, by Productivity Press 1995)
Business leaders around the world, leap into new approaches
to improving their businesses. They seem to be missing understanding
of how to assess any particular approach and the potential
it may offer. Many programs are adopted in the name of Learning
Organization, Continuous Improvement, etc. which suggest new
improved results and improved work environments. Many of these
are really only repackaged or redecorated versions of traditional
methods these leaders are seeking to escape. Leaders need a
set of guidelines for assessing whether the method they have
chosen has a sound base in its design. This article offers
a structure for assessing the likelihood of a given approach
taking an organization toward or away from becoming more developmental.
i.e. more capable of continual evolution toward higher order
capacities and results.
