Organizational Effectiveness:
Across the Organization

OptionBridge delivers services to help your organization function more effectively across the board:

Needs Assessment

We specialize in assessing the needs of organizations to determine what services will help you achieve your goals. We believe in doing things right and that means making sure that our clients’ needs are met in all areas of time, cost, and efficiency, and effectiveness. An initial needs assessment is the key to providing the highest quality of services.

Change Management

The real challenge in Change Management is preventing these phrases: “It’s just the Flavor of the Month,” or “I can’t believe they’re doing this.” The keys to effectiveness in implementing organizational changes are to integrate and align the detailed tactical adjustments with policy and organizational structure, while creating a demand for that change within the workforce. The change effort will be successful if your workforce wants it. Our unique set of skills and experience constitutes the right resource to help make that happen.

Policy Development and Alignment

Policies are effective when they are aligned with organizational goals and provide the appropriate working environment to achieve those goals. Most organizations start out with useful and appropriately designed policies. But organizations and their working environments change, and policies need to change along with them. Periodic assessments and adjustments assure that policies remain relevant and in alignment with the organization. Your staff knows when policies don’t align with organizational goals, aren’t relevant to the current work environment, or don’t allow them to get the job done. The symptoms you may see or hear about are frequent disregard of policy, requests for exceptions, arguments that ‘you’re not letting me do my job,’ and challenges of unfairness. More likely, you hear about the frustration and resentment only at the exit interview, if at all. And the worst part? Those who challenge policy and those who give up are often those most committed to improving your organization and reaching its goals.

Implementing Strategy

Organizations spend time and energy creating bold, incisive and forward thinking strategies. When it comes time to implement that strategy, believing in and communicating the vision does not always translate into the making the necessary changes to support turning vision into reality. We bridge the gap between vision and implementation to negotiate and navigate the many subtle and not-so-subtle changes that may need to occur to move forward. We help make great ideas become reality.

Dispute Systems Design

Effective organizations have systems in place to deal with day to day work flows and recurrent events and activities. When it comes to conflict, few have considered implementing systems to deal with these issues that are part of the daily life and require significant time and attention from leaders. We are experienced at analyzing your organizational needs, designing, and assisting with the implementation of systems to manage conflict in a more cost effective, less stressful, legally compliant way.
